2.0.33?  Hopefully they've changed the prompt, when was 2.0.33 out?

Then again, hopefully your telnet connection went to a completely
different box that's sitting there waiting to catch potential hackers.

OK, two courses of action:

ONE - considering that RM is a target for all those disgrunted
students of yours struggling with puberty / being a teenager / etc
someone with access to RM support phone numbers and email addresses
should have a word with RM *real soon*.

TWO - Roger puts up a promise of a copy of SuSE 6.5 as the prize,
first list subscriber to change the telnet prompt to "This host has
been annexed by the SuSE Linux schools mailing list" wins :)
