Okay, not bad.
Apparently only three users with telnet difficulties over the past 6 months
or so were AOL users, based on my email files. (At least only three
bothered to contact me. So much for that one AOL user/week statistic I
obviously exaggerated.)
My conscience can rest easy now.
Thanks again, Isabel. I may add this info to our webpage. The only
question I get from our web page is "Why won't telnet work?" It was such a
popular question, I had to add a link explaining web browser setup options.
