I don't know what to recommend for Android. I think the app that I used a long time ago on iDevices has been discontinued. :-( As others have indicated, use another device that's connected to the (protected ~> isolated LAN ~> cross over cable) VAX and the rest of your network. SSH to that device and connect to the VAX from there. I just tried the following trick with SSH as a one step process and it seemed to work fairly well for me. ssh -W <VAX host>:23 <bastion host> This causes SSH to initiate a secure connection to <bastion host> and forward the raw connection (which is otherwise protected by SSH's wrapping) to <VAX host>:23. So you run an ssh command and get what looks almost identical to the result of a telnet command. If your ssh client or server doesn't support -W <host>:<port> -- forward standard input and output on the client be forwarded to <port> on <host> -- then you can do the same type of thing by sshing to the host normally and running a netcat command; e.g. nc <host>:<port>. There is also a possibility that your telnet client supports TLS protected telnet to the <bastion host> which removes the TLS protection and forwards the unprotected traffic to the VAX. I'll only tip my hat to other more esoteric things that fall into the broad category of VPN. I'd try the ssh -W <VAX host>:23 <bastion host> first. Oy vey! I'm not touching that. I don't know nearly enough. That looks like Mount Everest to me from my place of ignorance. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
