I'll give it a try, as soon as I find a binary or rpm! :-)
BTW, I have a dedicated firewall (custom-compiled kernel and all!) on which
I'm running RH 6.2.

On Emacs! ;-)
Actually, when I need to do something to my firewall, I just push the button
on my switchbox for the firewall machine and log in there!
BTW, this whole thing got started when I tried to log in to EFnet for our
IRC channel. for some reason I can only find one server on EFnet that
doesn't insist on identd (irc.ais.net) and that one server has been
unreachable for a week now (unable to find route to host).

Working on ssh implementation now. My ISP supports it for my Linux shell,
so I'd obviously rather use it than telnet.
