- There is some confusion about different versions of hytelnet:
- it started life as a IBM PC program - I think that most of the
- discussion has centered on that version. As was correctly stated,
- it does not have the ability to make the telnet linkages that
- libtel or libs can do.
-
- However, Earl Fogel has written a version of hytelnet that can use
- the PC datafiles (so that part doesn't have to be redone) and run
- them on mainframes. I have it mounted on our SUNOS UNIX machine
- here at Syracuse University. I believe that it also comes in a
- VAX VMS flavor as well.
-
- More recently, a version (again by Earl, I believe) for Macintosh
- computers has come into existance. That version _WILL_ complete
- the telnet linkages if the Mac is hooked into the Internet
- (EtherNet running MacTCP) - otherwise, it is very much like the
- IBM PC version. It even uses the IBM PC's original datafiles.
-
- Because of its portability to all of these platforms, I like
- hytelnet the best.
