Here is what you should see on a Unix machine:

Again things are not so simple with windows.
The behaviour is similar to that encountered
with Experiment 3.2, you cannot see what you
are typing unless you follow the following procedure kindly
provided by Petar Konovski of Birkbeck, University:
- telnet
- set localecho
- follow the directions in Experiment 3.3 typing very
carefully.
- Hit the Enter key.
- Type "Quit".
You need to be very careful about sending fake email.
Under the right circumstances it can be funny, but
you are taking a big risk. I have pretty much stopped doing
it completely.
Tell your friends about this
capability so that they know that even email
that seems to be from someone they know
may be fake.
