Which package do I need for that telnet?  I see a few packages with that
name. 

I am connected through a VPN but Seamonkey works fine.  I can check and
send email there, hence this thread.  I figure I got something set up
wrong after a Gmail change.  Sort of stupid to make something so secure
you can't use it.  It's like buying a computer and saying the only way
to secure it is to keep it turned off.  :/
