OK, I'll think it over and see if I want to do it. If I decide to do it, I'll throw it 
together next weekend.

The "telnet" line in Netscape for Windows 95(let me look at my Win95 machine located 
conveniently next to this Mac) should be something like:
c:\windows\telnet.exe
This will launch Windows95 Telnet in it's own window. If you find a BETTER(and there are, I 
just haven't bothered to look yet) Telnet programs, change that line to that appplication.

To telnet in and use your SHELL account(you may not have it, ask your service provider), 
check your provider's web site to see if 1: you have shell access, and 2: if yes, where is 
it?
If you need help with this assuming you have shell access, let me know. I can give you some 
steps to get things working.
