QVT-Term is much better How is it broken? It works and that is all I have noticed. If I telnet to FreeBSD, it is usually from an NT machine where I can choose foreground / background colors and window sizes. It is just luck that I can change Win 98's telnet to blue and white because you don't have a choice on foreground. I've never thought about setting colors when I telnet to NT from FreeBSD and that is kind of funny. I don't do it very often and it hasn't passed the irritating point. > > http://tucows.accu-find.com/adnload/dlqvtterm.html > > There is also a poor > > version of ftp. > > If you're speaking of the command-line ftp, it's a direct steal of the > *nix code. rather fast compared to the point 'n drool replacements. I actually dislike Win FTP more than their telnet because I have gotten used to the auto-restart that is built into ws_FTP_pro, which is one of the point and drool versions. There are times when I have started a download and let it run for 16-18 hours. My ISP kicks me off after 8 hours, I do a restart, select the rest of the files, and continue until I am kicked off again. The restart is far more valuable than anything else I use. There were far many more times when I was kicked off after transfering 80% or more than less than 25%. If I had an ADSL, it wouldn't have mattered because I never would have been kicked off. I run my FTP sessions from Windows even though the files are intended for FreeBSD. > > > > > Consider a switch that shares your monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
