Subject: Telnet

Thank you for this information.  I have downloaded and installed the program, however, it is the same problem.  I connect to dslreport.com, and am recognized by it and asked to input some information, but I am unable to type and characters.  Perhaps it is something simple that I am overlooking.  I have not used telnet before.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  William
