As someone who (a) finds your posts on the list very useful, and
(b) has used Windows Telnet, I think that you should:
take 3 asprin, a tall glass of water and sleep off your New
Year's hangover in a dark, quiet room...
There is *no* comparison between that barely screen-oriented
Windows Telnet and Gnome Terminal and konsole, both of which
work great, and, even though they are "heavier", look much better
than xterm. Fonts in xterms are just plain hard to read.
