your ab-so-loot-ly right chsh. but...this is faqt were talking about not some would be SK with three posts who can't seem to remember his hot-mail password. look at some of the responses hes getting, foundstones port fowarder has been recommended. in order to use it hes going to have to figure out how by rtfm and experimenting. you cant tell me that hes not going to learn something from it even if hes been pointed to it. nobody's going to do it for him. and now that he's learned that a telnet client can be used for protocols other than telnet he'll get a look at what a protocol really is. even school points you to where to find good information rather than have you waste time sorting threw all the garbage. when he goes in to school and telnets to hackers lab (depending on the type of fw) he will have demonstrated knowledge "he has gained" and will rightfully deserve those extra points and maybe even give his teacher a wake up call.
