Well I upgraded to Windows Internet Explorer 7.0 and subsequently
could not access any of my usual Telnet DX Packet Clusters (;-)

But there is a patch from CiscoNET to make it work with IE and Vista

FYI: Telnet and DX Packet Cluster info are at URL:

A browser usually isn't the best telnet client. A good one to use is
puTTy.



Could be Bob. All I know is after the patch, I can now access any
cluster site at the NG3K site -- URL:

Works well

That's good to know. I recall that the default Windows telnet is rather
broken. If you want to see a nice dedicated DX Cluster client, take a
look at http://www.ve7cc.net/

I tried to install the ve7cc telnet program on a Win98SE machine and
it kept putting in a WS2_32.dll file in my C:\\Windows\System file
that screwed up the whole machine. I downloaded a new WS2_32.dll file
and installed it and all is OK. I tried it the second time and the
same thing happened. Anyone know of a fix or what I'm doing wrong?

It looks like a great program if you can get it to work.

Thanks
