As Gabby said, use ssh rather than telnet. PuTTY is the first 
webpage returned when you search for it on google, it's free and it's 
highly configurable. ssh is avaliable pretty much everywhere now, 
so there's no reason not to use it!

An alternative to useing ftoomsh is to use sutekh 
(sutekh.progsoc.org). Which tends to be more responsive than 
ftoomsh.

Personally, I've never had ftoomsh incorrectly log me in, but I have 
had another report a while ago. Can anyone who is having similar 
problems email cso@nospam.progsoc.org, so I can get an idea if the scope 
of the problem.
