Hi -
I'm trying to telnet into my school account using KTelnet, but I keep getting an error saying that "Unknown child process xxx died".

If I use it without the host name or account, it spawns a regular terminal window. I know that I can telnet into my school account, because I do it regularly through Windows.

I just got my Linux internet connection working 15 minutes ago, and I have a feeling I need to change some configuration files, but I really don't know where to start.

TIA
leo

istead of using a graphical terminal just type telnet at the command line.

the graphical telnet client doesn't have a single advantage I can think of.

open xtermtelnet host
