the "xxxxx%" is actually my user name which automatically comes up in the Mac OS X terminal which does both telnet and ssh.

I did ssh because I had read that the "terminal" does both and that most everyone was moving to ssh. Not being sure I tried it knowing that nothing would blow up if I did.

So any way I typed in the same command you posted and that is what I got. I am assuming that is not what you were expecting.

Oh by the way - thanks for the help.
