I can't get to the posts prior to 2/5 (newsreader is choking on a mis-dated post) so this may have been discussed earlier. If someone can confirm what I want to know is back there, I can try grabbing everything with Xnews ...
I've recently had a couple of discussions with people about using a menued interface for telnet logins to Win2K servers. WIn2K's command processor is a bit dicey for doing something of this nature, but it does allow specification of the command processor and more importantly a login batch file, which would allow easy use of the Cygwin shell.
Has anyone done something along the lines of using Cygwin's bash as a shell for users connecting to Win2K via telnet? If so, any tips or gotchas I need to be aware of?
