Re: Remote login into Windows 2000 machine and run Progress

Why do you insist on using telnet?
Your server is W2K so you should connect to it with Terminal Services 
and your application will work exactly as locally. I've been doing this 
with character based Progress application for several years and never 
had any problems with screen look or function keys.

Give it a try.
