What I did was do a search ( Sherlock) for "Terminal", which is a built-in Mac app that lets you run the telnet test. Once that Terminal app window pops up, it will prompt you ( w/ flashing cursor) to enter info. Enter the info / numbers from the Limerwire page abouit running the Telnet test and hit "Enter".

If after a few seconds you see the text "Gnutella OK" you MAY be able to connect to Gnutella networks. However, Zenzele Bell from Limewire told me that getting "Gnutella OK" does not necessarily mean you *definitely* can access Gnutella. When I asked if there was any other test I could run to find out I got no reply to this question.


Sorry I don't have the link to the Limewire telnet test page.
