- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About this device ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The telnet device allows telnet access to remote hosts via IBM's TCP/IP product
- or OS/2-Warp's Internet Access Kit.
-
- Topics in this help file:
-
- o How to use the telnet device
- o Device dependent functions in ZOCяs Device Menu
- o Telnet deviceяs options

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.1. How to use the telnet device ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- To make a connection to a host you provide the host's name or internet address
- instead of a phone number. ZOC will try to connect to the host using a slip
- connection (you have to have an already active slip connection).
-
- Example:
-
- bbs.channel1.com
-
- You will be connected to the standard telnet port (23) of the remote host. If
- you want to connect to another port, you may provide the port number or service
- name after the host name or address separated by a colon or space.
-
- Example:
-
- foobar.somewhere.net 25
- or
-
- Example:
-
- foobar.somewhere.net:25
- or
-
- Example:
-
- foobar.somewhere.net smtp
-
- If you get an NO RESPONSE error you can try to put an * (asterisk) in front of
- the host name (or address). This way ZOC will not try to ping the host before
- making the call (this will help for hosts that take very long to respond).
-
- Example:
-
- *slowhost.leisure.net
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.2. Device Dependent Functions (Device Menu) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The telnet device adds three functions to ZOC's device menu.
-
- Are you there?
- This functions tries to trigger a response from the remote host (usually
- something like [YES]) to find out you are still connected to the host.
-
- Interrupt Process
- This function aborts the program that currently runs on the remote host. It
- is similar to pressing Ctrl+Break locally.
-
- Abort Output
- This function aborts output from the remote host (eg. when accidentally
- showing a large text file).
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.3. Device Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The following options are available for telnet sessions:
-
- Always send CR/NUL
- Enable this option if your host requires a NUL character sent after a CR
- character if the CR character isn't followed by a LF character.
-
- Host sends CR/NUL in binary mode
- Try to enable this option if binary file transfers (eg. Xmodem) through
- telnet connections fail.
-
- Start session with local echo on
- If this option is enabled, ZOC will use local echo (which is faster than
- remote echo) when the session starts. However, during the login process
- this option is often overridden (ie. changed back to remote echo) by the
- remote host.
-
- Start session in binary mode
- If enabled, ZOC will try to negotiate a binary session.
-
- GLOBAL OPTIONS
-
- Do not ping host
- Normally ZOC tries to PING the host to determine if it is active before
- making the actual call. On systems (like TIA) that do not support PING,
- this will let the call fail (error NO RESPONSE). In this case, enabling
- this option should help.
