Just for fun I tried logging onto my 1.5_ALPHA2 system with 
Hummingbird Telnet 6.0 something. (HostExplorer version is 
6.0.1.1008). Was successful except I had to use ^J instead of
enter to go from login to password.

If you like, contact me off list and I'll enable a guest login for
you to try. Then you can see if that version of Hummingbird works
on ALPHA2.

Regards
Nigel
