Usin Telnet from Command Prompt

[Guest]

Hi
Hi I am a network administartor, that use telnet form the command prompt
permanently to administer various routers and swithches on our network.
I have on average 3 to 6 cmd's(telnet sessions) open at the same time.
I recently installed XP after using W2K.
I experience the following problem in Windows XP Pro (all versions), when
you open more than 3 command prompt telnet sessions at the same time and then
when you try to close any one of them that particular one will hang.
This causes the whole OS to hang, the only way to recover is to power down
and reboot.
This behavior happens randomly.
In Win2000 Pro this did not happen and was the main reason why I did not
change to XP pro until now.
Please any suggestions.

Thank-you

Basically, the xp provided telnet client is junk. google for a free third
party util, like PuTTY.
