    Ubuntu must be even worse than I had thought then! ;-)

    ubuntu uses the same clients as all other *nix systems... but all of them have problems of various kinds and none of them work like folks used to the DOS way of doing things work... those being good ANSI support as well as "within-the-connection-stream" file transfers... on *nix file transfers are done on their own connections external to the terminal... on DOS style (winwhatever included) systems, the transfers are just more data in the currently used connection stream...

    now, if the above plugin things assist with that, i don't know... on winwhatever, i use my favorite terminal program and make it the default handler
    for those types and protocols...

    ubuntu or debian or redhat or any similar *nix system has nothing to do with this...

    firefox and a telnet plugin that is much eaiser on the eyes and much
    nicer to look at.

    There are tow or three addons available. go to addons and type in telnet and choose the one of your choice.

    I don't want to choose one. I want the same one YOU like.
