Eric,
I tried with telnet and pserver aborted...With SSh or EXTSSH it's okay but 
the "blank password" is not accepted,so aborted after a little attempts, 
while by Unix is always ok...Now I'm looking for another way because it's 
very strange this problem..
Maybe the problem is in my port, I'll check if there is another port with 
same duty...

Thanks a lot!
