Hi Greg,

     About "Web access, false BBS ID" of October 31:

GG> ...interesting...  So exactly how insecure is a telnet connection?
SH> If someone manages to gain control of a system between you and the

RW> I have been able to intercept keystrokes over a telnet connection a
RW> heck of a lot easier that I have been able to over an SSH...

     I would have refered you to somebody else relatively to this topic,
it's a relief when the right question is addressed to the right guru and
vice versa...  Security is relative, i don't suggest to revise ~TelNet~.

                                    Salutations,

                                    Michel Samson
