Hi Mike,

PuTTY is drop dead simple, .. *IF* you get the hang of setting up a 'session'.

1) *Before* you open a connection, cruise the options on the right.

2) Enter your host name (same as for normal telnet [which was a different 
port]).

3) Be *sure* to select 'ssh' below the host name.

4) *SAVE* the session using the save button in the lower RH corner.

5) *THEN* use the 'open', .. if putty establishes contact (the way it feels 
for me), it will ask you for a user name and then password. If it cannot 
contact sshd on the server, it will just close (meaning you have either the 
host name or ssh selection wrong).

         HTH,

         Lee
