I just ssh dom3minions.com
or I ssh 63.199.8.158
which bypasses going off onto the net to convert the name to an IP I already know anyway.
But since Windows is my desktop I usually use free PuTTY anyway which gives me nice things like a scroll back window. Not that I use it much. (in general ssh has given me more problems on the server than telnet has)
Also, I have dom3minions on a KVM switch with my win desktop. They are fairly cheap. The keyboard/video/mouse switch lets me toggle which machine is "attached" to my keyboard/monitor.
