Who here uses > telnet in Emacs on Windows? Thanks. If you could connect your remote host via Tramp, then you could use eshell. Both cooperate. Let's say you are able open "/plink:user@host:", getting an dired buffer. Then you can also apply "M-x eshell". In the eshell buffer, you could do "cd /plink:user@host:". Now you can apply commands on the remote host. I haven't tried it on Windows, but it shall work this way, starting with Emacs 23. Best regards, Michael.
