Account Manager

telnet www.twistedbits.net
" into the box and hit enter. (You can also
run telnet the same way from a command prompt.) The telnet client included with
Windows is pretty minimal and can be a bit frustrating at times, so many people
prefer to use a different one. (Many are available from
TuCows.) We have found Tera Term Pro (freeware)
to be an excellent choice. It should also be noted that if you connect to the
account manager using the default telnet client, your connection will be "insecure".
If you'd prefer an encrypted connection, you'll need to use a telnet client which supports
SSH. More detail on this topic is available in the
Security section of this manual. Note that if we are
hosting a domain or subdomain for you, you can also telnet to that domain
or subdomain to access the account manager.
