The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

SUMMARY
=======
If you set Terminal's default port parameter in the Windows NT
Registry to a port that is not properly recognized by the operating
system, you may receive the following error message:
Terminal failed to open the telnet session. Please use the Services
option in Control Panel to make sure that the telnet service is
started.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The default port used by Terminal in Windows NT can be set by doing
the following:
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious,
system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to
correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting
from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your
own risk.
1. Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
2. Select the following Registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal
3. In the Registry Value Window, select the Port parameter.
4. From the Edit menu, choose String.
5. In String Editor, change the port name to the proper port for your
modem.
NOTE: This parameter is case sensitive. Use uppercase letters
for the port name.
If you change the value of Terminal's default port to a valid COM port
name that is not recognized by Windows NT, Terminal attempts to start
a Telnet session. If the Telnet service has been started, you receive
the Telnet> prompt in the Terminal window. If the Telnet service was
not started, you receive the above error message.
