- Following the FAQ from this froup, I set up AmiTCP v4.0, PPP, and
- Thor, and am mostly through setting up Grapevine as well. I have two
- problems that I'm stumped on, however:
-
- 1. So far I have two telnet programs, both that came with AmiTCP:
- telnet, running in a shell window; and napsaterm. Between the two of
- them I can maintain a tolerable connection to almost anywhere I try,
- but each of them fails in some areas. napsaterm seems better overall
- but it doesn't seem to have an option for local echo, and one system
- I'm connecting to requires this. It also seems to make the
- packet-oriented nature of telnet even worse, compared to the AmiTCP
- telnet program. The telnet program works in the case that needs local
- echo, but on other systems it does odd stuff whenever the system kicks
- it into char-by-char mode, making it virtually impossible to follow.
- Both programs are a little shy on features. My search through Aminet
- turned up dozens of telnet programs. Does anyone have any
- recommendations?
-
- Alternately I read on this froup that telser.device lets me use any
- term program as a telnet. Where can I find that for anonymous FTP?
-
- 2. AMosaic is supposed to be on Aminet, but I can't find it anywhere,
- nor IBrowse, on wuarchive.wustl.edu or ftp.luth.se. Can anyone
- recommend an FTP site that definitely has it in stock? (I've seen a
- WWW address for it, but it seems odd to put a web browser in a place
- where you need a web browser to get it. I could do it if I have to,
- via a PC, but it's a pain, especially if the archive is over 720K.)
-
- My system is an A3000 with WB2.04 and a 14.4 modem; I run WB in 4
- colors and do not intend to change this. Is there any preference to
- AMosaic or IBrowse for me?
