[ale] Telnet to Linux from a winbox

[David Brooks]

Well.. I prefer SimpTerm myself.   Supports ANSI color, vt100, vt50, vt200,
vt102, etc etc etc., and its free.  Do a search for it on Yahoo!, it'll come
up.

open an MS-DOS command prompt and use the command "ROUTE PRINT" to see where
your local network is routed. My guess is that you have this box configured
with a different subnet than the rest of your LAN.

you can also check www.winfiles.com for alternatives. Personally, I prefer
MS' quirky TELNET to many other free implementations; I have mine set to
always open with a 35 rows.
