SSH is fine and works well, forwards X and all (as did telnet) but it's overkill for a BBS in general. It cuts communications on something your trying to increase communications with. Just my quick two paragraphs worth

Wait wut? Seriously telnet forwards X? I have somehow made it to this point completely unaware of that.

No. SSH supports X11 forwarding -- not telnet.

SSH forwards X11. Telnet doesn't.

That's what I thought. Must've just been the wording that was used. :P

I remember forwarding screens even with telnet back in the 90's using X and Linux/BSD. I use SSH now as it's easier, pretty much just add the -X. I think I might have been setting up ports to send and receive on both machines with telnet, but we did do it at times.

I stand corrected. I Googled it and actually found quite a few hits on the topic of forwarding X11 over telnet. There's even a program call rxtelnet that handles just that. I guess it would be less overhead to forward X over telnet if you're doing it over a LAN where security isn't a major concern.

Oh I guess I was thinking of using telnet with a specific option that I hadn't heard of before. I guess I never thought of using it to open to a special port. Now that I'm actually looking at the man page for it I'm seeing a lot that I didn't know. Heh.

I know SSH does that nicely -- pick a port to forward, hit localhost on the local port and SSH tunnels it to the destination port/IP.

Indeed I've discovered a lot about telnet that I didn't know thanks to this thread. Heh.
