There's your clue. Use telnet.

I am trying to get into my school's UNIX system via Knoppix 3.7. I was able to get in last semester with no trouble, but for some reason I am unable to login when I use the terminal and type in (of course this is just an example):
slogin xyz1234@d45.ucs.my_school.edu
It just hangs for about 2 minutes then gives me this message:
ssh: connection to host d45.ucs.my_school.edu port 22: Connection timed out
or
ssh: connection to host d45.ucs.my_school.edu port 22: Connection failed
The Knoppix 3.7 cd does work when I am using a computer that is non-UNIX when I am on campus, but can't otherwise. A friend of mine can't login from his home either. He gets the same error message.
When I am using Windows XP and log into the school's computer via telnet, I am able to get in, but I would prefer using Knoppix for obvious reasons.
Do any of you have any ideas as to what I could try doing to get the Knoppix cd to work? I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks.
