    Hello,

    I am using connectbot for telnet. Often I cannot enter my login info on my bbs. I cannot get past typing in my user number. Any help?

    What do you mean by you cant get past typing in your user number? What happens when you try? I use connectbot and it works fine for me.

    Telnet is not secure. Packet sniffers can get transmitted usernames/passwords unless you are over some kind of ssl connection.

    Use ssh.

    I type my user number and I am not able to "Enter" it. I hit return and nothing happens. I ultimately time out.

    Had no issue on my end. If you put "NEW" when you get in, are you able to hit enter?

    Just tried again under my user name: nothing. I tried again using "NEW": nothing. Could it be my settings on connectbot?

    Well go figure. Uninstalling and reinstalling it worked. Now the screen font is back to being super small. Oh well.
