[pptp-server] Telnet or SSH over Pptp - VPN, Timed Out!!!

[Adam Lang]

For windows based telnetting, I use KevTerm.  Pretty good. (I've tried
Hyperterm also, but for some unexplainable reason, it didn't agree with me.)

As for timing out.  I had no issue.  As a matter of fact, I have my pptp
server setup so that people at home can connect to the AS/400 in the
companies internal network and use Client Access to work on it.  That
program uses the telnet 23 port.  It is as if they are working at their desk
at work.

Of course, as someone else mentioned, I haven't tried it behind a "dual"
firewall setting.  Only from client, to internet, to PPTP server, to AS/400.

Does anyone know of any reliable Telnet clients that can survive the odd
timeout over the Internet and into the PPTP Server? We use Anzio, which
really has jack all options for tweaking. TeraTerm is just as bad.

The VPN is great, users can browse our intranet and so on, but Telnet rarely
lasts longer than 5mins!!!

My last resort is Samba on the VPN in order to house the Telnet program to
be run remotely and thus avoid the all too common Internet Timeout.

PLEASE HELP????
