RE: Telnet vs PcAnywhere

["Michael Parker" <mparker () rim net>]

Hi Igor,

In defense of the people posting in this newsgroup...you are being a bit
judgmentmental in regards to your last point.  First, keep in mind that
this is a "SECURITY BASICS" newsgroup...not a "SECURITY PROFESSIONALS"
newsgroup.  You shouldn't make assumptions about the people who post
here as it is a forum for people of all levels of expertise.  Second,
you also don't have any idea what other research this person is doing
when they post a question such as this one...perhaps they have already
"Googled" and read the specs and are now looking for further
information...rememeber the addage about making assumptions :)

I'm Canadian...to match your .25 cents, here's my 0.365765 cents.

Cheers,
Michael

4)the amount on incompetence among people calling themselves "network
professionals" , etc. makes me worried, as well as lack of initiative in
research. Don't trust what we will tell you here in blind faith -
Google, read the specs, and try things out.
