  Mike,
          You can't do that with Win 95's Telnet programme.  Or at
  least not
  to the best of my knowledge (which comes from using the applet
  almost
  everyday).  I believe there were a few postings here a couple of
  weeks ago
  that discussedwhy some telnet programmes can print and others
  can't.  What
  it boiled down to was Win 95's programee printed to the screen, not
  the
  printer.  :-(  On the other hand if you're really ambitious about
  saving
  money you could select Terminal from the menu bar and start logging
  the
  mail as it goes by.

  Cheers!

  Windows 95 comes with a program called HyperTerminal Private Edition
v1.0. The people who make the program, Hilgraeve
(http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe.html) have an upgrade to v3.0 available
which provides Telnet ability and has excellent printing controls. I
recommend upgrading to this version for your Windows 95 Telnet needs!
