Hi...

And should it happen to be of any interest, ie7 dropped the telnet
capability.

Take care.

Ken

didn't they also drop FTP client?


Not exactly. Certainly IE7 seems to have problems to connect to certain
FTP servers, but I found that disabling "passive ftp" in "Tools" ---
"Internet Options" --- "Advanced Options", restores IE7 connectivity
with ftp servers. I haven´t tested the TELNET capability, just because
I´m used to do TELNET from the command line in Windows XP.

I personally prefer Firefox over IE7, but the truth is that there are
some websites that will not work in anything except IE, so one must have
IE installed.

Also, I find quite interesting how as soon a new version of software is
out, everybody starts to say that "the new version is awful", "it
doesn´t work well", "I don´t like it" and so on... and the final outcome
is always the same: everyone ends using it.
