Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Howdy Cousin :-) What kind of machine are you connecting with from home? What version FreeBSD are you running in the remote location? Think carefully and try again with as much detail as you can bear. BTW: I'd be careful about sending passwords in the clear using telnet; ssh is a much safer choice if your are connecting across the Internet.
