If not mabye someone else here has one they could lend you (shell)

Yep - I have a win2k pro server box. I turned off everything in IIS except ftp from within my network to avoid SK's. I'm a little apprehensive about leaving that sort of stuff out in the open for all to see. I am thinking of opening up the telnet port on the router, but only for the IP of our telnet gateway up here at work. Anyone see potential catastrope here?

yes. big problems

#1. All communications are unencrypted.

#2. Packet spoofing.

#3. You can run a line from the console to a Linux box running sshd and just ssh to the linux box and use Minicom to connect directly to console. Out-Of-Band management rocks like that.
