While I can use remote desktop to get from my Solaris server to the XP box,
doing so while at some place other than the LAN, the DSL connection speed
tends to cause the RD to fail and close.

And since I don't really need a graphical connection, I figured that I would
just start the XP Pro telnet server and connect that way.  Ya, well, not so
good there either.

I want to be able to start zsh from the telnet session so that I have full
access to the cygwin stuff, specifically being able to change crontab.

But, when I enter "zsh" nothing happens.  I do not get a Z-shell prompt based
upon my Z-shell config files.  Instead the telnet session hangs.  I have to
so a ^] and quit the telnet session.

Can the cygwin tools be accessed via a telnet connection and if so how?

Thanks.
