I'm using Qwest DSL, and have no problems reaching The Mighty
Peanut.  We tried a couple of WinXP telnet and PuTTY sessions.  I
noticed that the WinXP telnet client was listed as "ANSI" and the PuTTY
client was listed as "XTERM".  I had to use Shift-Backspace or CTRL-H
to backup on PuTTY.  The Win client worked fine with the backspace key.

I don't have any way to really pound the little peanut, but I did just 
sit on
my RETURN key for a while, and let the peanut try to send the HELP
message as fast as my RETURN key would repeat.  Seemed to hold up
just fine.  Well done, Mike!
