    What's a good cheap/free Telnet program for Mac OSX? When I was on OS 9 I used "Better Telnet PPC". Is there one out there similar to that one?

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't Mac OSX come with telnet and ssh? I thought all you had to do was just open up a Terminal Window, and type telnet or ssh.

    Deuce, if you type "telnet://" on your Mac Browser you shall see what happens.

    When I downloaded MacTelnet it was for Classic mode and not OSX. Did I miss something?

    As for Putty, it seemed like it was only available for PC. Did I miss the mac version on the dowload page?

    Deuce,

    go here http://www.pure-mac.com/remote.html

    there is a list of remote access software for Macs..including OSX

    from the short read I did...it appears that you will need to use SSH instead of telnet...it is one of the things that Apple changed in OSX for more security...

    Deuce,

    You should not use telnet, use SSH instead. It is trivial to steal the password if you use telnet.

    I believe the OSX version of SSH is called "fugu".
