Short: Serial telnet(d) device for AmiTCP/AS225r2
Author: Sam Yee (samy@sfu.ca | samy@res.com | fido: 1:153/765)
Uploader: samy@sfu.ca
Type: comm/tcp
telser.device ("telser") is a modem simulator running over a TCP
telnet/rlogin connection. It simulates basic `modem commands', so
telecommunication ("comm") programs can run over a network connection.
To the comm program, it thinks it's talking to a modem. Terminal
emulation, file transfers, scripting, etc., are all handled by the
comm program. Connecting to a host is as simple as typing "ATDT
abc.edu,23" or even simpler if the host is in the comm's phonebook.
Also, with telser's built-in scripting, logins can be automated.
telser supports most of the telnet/rlogin negotiation commands and
options. For example, you may elect to notify the remote host on
changes to the terminal emulation type and window size. An intuitive
"gadtools" graphical user interface is supplied to control most of
telser's operations.
telser can also run in host mode, essentially allowing it to accept
incoming telnet/rlogin calls. Unwanted connections can be denied.
Calls may be tracked by a caller ID feature. A "multi-line" BBS can
be easily set up over the internet!
telser is capable of unlimited device units, which means unlimited
incoming and outgoing connections are possible. It supports both
TCP/IP packages on the Amiga, namely AmiTCP (tested with 3.x and 4.x)
and AS225r2. The TCP/IP emulator, MLINK, is also supported.
Changes since 1.30:
Ver. YY/MM/DD Changes
---- -------- --------------------------------------------------------
1.30 95/09/11 - bug fix with ATDT<host> where host is not in host list
Was causing enforcer hits when GUI not opened.
- telserd can now run without being launched by
inetd. (works with MLINK on most sites.)
- telser.device now loads a resident telser, if present.
- telser.device can now be opened from a task.
- also looks in $KEYPATH for key file
- device unit redirection (programs access other units
through one unit)
- can ban IP addresses from calling in
- iconification at startup or any time.
- can adjust terminal type string sent to host
- device units can share configuration with each other
- units can now have default telnet configurations
- rawin.library is now optional, but still needed if
LINEMODE is desirable.
- ATDT<host>[,<port>], <port> can be a service name that
exists in the services file.
- tstelnet can fully simulate the UNIX rlogin client.
- should work better with some telnet-less MUDs.
