Thanks for the reply TH13.

I know its pretty insecure as far as it being plain text, and even though you go through and chaning 6 or so of them there is still a possibility of you being tracked down. Just wanted to try it out for nostalgic reasons..lol

Any programs you recommend in particular? I could go and google it and try a bunch of different ones, but dont want to reinvent the wheel...lol

What do you suggest as a modern day telnet proxy? or equivilent?

Thanks for your help so far :-)
