- USAGE
- T[elnet] <hostname> [<port_number>]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- The telnet command allows you to initiate a TCP connection from
- the NOS mailbox out across the network to another host. This
- allows an AX.25 user with nothing more than a terminal and TNC
- to gain access to the TCP/IP network.
-
- By including the optional port_number, you can connect to any
- TCP server at the given host. The default is to be connected to
- the "telnet" server, which in the case of NOS software, is the
- MBOX.
-
- To quit the session at any time, enter the escape character
- (CTRL-X by default, can be changed with the E[scape] command).
-
- EXAMPLES
- telnet wb7xxx (Connect to wb7xxx, (MBOX if NOS) )
- t wb7xxx 25 (Connect to the SMTP mail server at wb7xxx)
