Hi David_Jones:

Sorry about the confusion .. the set command is local to your telnet program. Try this : open a command prompt - type telnet and press enter. You should now be in the Telnet prompt of Windows 2000. type set localecho
You should see a confirmation with Local Echo is ON. Then press quit. and you will be back to your original Windows 2000 prompt. You can proceed as before to log into your mail server. Mind you .. you do NOT need to set local echo on everytime you use it .. telnet will remember your settings.
