I am really not familiar with working with the NT server when doing perl, but one of my hosts is NT. So, can I access telnet from an NT server? I really am a newbie on telnet but I need to know my path to perl on my hosts NT server, I was told that if I type "which perl" in telnet when connected, it will show my perl path. But when I tyed logging in telnet, it wouldnt log me in! I tryed logging in with telnet with my other site and it worked, is there a difference in telnet with an NT server and a Unix server? Does it have something to do with ports? Help Appreciated, thanks.

NT servers don't support telnet access - shell operations are a UNIX notion.

thats not true at all you can run a telent shell on NT server and it comes default with windows 2000 server

Yes, you can add third-party software to Windows NT to allow telnet connections to the command shell. It won't do what the original poster wants, though.

I was not speaking for Windows 2000, which does have a built-in telnet server. Again, though, it will still not provide what this poster seems to want - a UNIX shell.
