- telnet <host> [<port_number>] Default port_number: 23
- _________________________________________________________________
- The 'telnet' command allows you to initiate a connection using
- the Telnet protocol. The end result is much the same as doing an
- AX.25 connect in most cases, but you'll be taking advantage of
- the attributes of the TCP/IP protocols.
-
- The command creates a Telnet session to the specified host. With
- the default port number (23), a connection is made to the Telnet
- server at the remote host.
-
- If the remote host is running a NOS Telnet server (i.e. the host
- has issued the command 'start telnet'), you will be connected to
- the BBS on that host. See the 'bbs' command.
-
- Once the connection is made, you can then type back and forth
- just as if you were connected with a normal TNC. When you're
- done, use the <F10> key to escape back to command mode, and then
- type 'close' to close the connection.
-
- If a remote host requests a Telnet session, a message similar to
- the following will be displayed on your screen:
-
- Incoming Telnet session 2 from ns9ken:1026
-
- If you are in command mode, enter CR at a "net>" prompt and you
- will enter converse mode for the Telnet session.
-
- If you are in converse mode, use the <F10> key to escape back to
- command mode, use the 'session' command to list the active
- sessions, and then use the 'session <session_number>' command to
- enter converse mode on the desired Telnet session.
-
- The Telnet session can be recorded to a file (using the 'record'
- command), or an ASCII file can be uploaded instead of entering
- the information at the keyboard (using the 'upload' command).
