An answer to Gary's question would have been more useful. Telnet is an important network troubleshooting tool, probably fourth in importance after ping, traceroute and dig/nslookup. For example, I often use it when trying to work out why SMTP or POP or some other access is not working correctly when I am using some random WiFi network somewhere: I telnet to the desired host/port and look to see if it is being intercepted by the ISP. Unfortunately, I don't have it on my N810 and can't find a copy of it. And the times I need it are when travelling and so I have not got around to porting it myself! Graham
