This is a telnet client with full-color ANSI support for Windows NT/95 console. You can use this program from the Windows 95/NT command line (command prompt) and run in full-screen text mode. This can be particularly useful when you need to concentrate on your telnet session. Telnet will communicate the number of lines and line width to the host, and it can operate in any console mode.
* NOTE: * This release of TELNET is a test release and not for general distribution. Hopefully this will be the final beta. Please send comments and bug reports to, the author, Brad Johnson

This is a telnet client with full color ANSI support for Windows NT/95 console. You can use this program from the Win95 command line (MsDos) and run in full screen text mode. I find this very desirable when I want to concentrate on my telnet session.
Telnet will communicate the number of lines and line width to the host, and can operate in any "most" any console mode.
REQUIREMENTS:
This program requires Windows 95 or Windows NT to run. Win32s is not supported. There are same problems with running under Windows 95: The paste function does not work correctly. This is a bug in Windows 95's implementation of the console mode. In other words there is nothing that can been done to fix it. The paste function works correctly under NT.
USAGE:
TELNET Begins telnet and enters telnet> command line.
TELNET [host [port]] Connects to port on host. Port defaults to 23 for TELNET.
TELNET ? Gives usage information.
Pressing ALT-] will break out of a telnet session and return you to the telnet> prompt. Pressing return will resume your session. Other options are available from the telnet> prompt. Type ? to get help.
The key definitions are loaded from the file "keys.cfg" in the directory of the executable. You can override this by specifying the full path and file name in the environment variable TELNET_CFG.
