- Starting net.
-
- net
- - or -
- net [[ -x ] startup_file ]
-
- Options:
-
- -x display a list of files and directories where net expects to
- find things.
-
- startup_file Where net.rc is, and what it is called.
- Use \ in paths. Must be on the same disk that net is started from.
- use \dir instead of c:\dir
-
-
- Additional option for Telnet.
-
- You cna specify a service abbreviation instead of a service number
- when telnetting
-
- eg:
- telnet demon.co.uk 25
- telnet demon.co.uk smtp
-
- This is handy for when you cannot remember the service number.
-
- Common service codes:
-
- 7 echo
- 13 daytime
- 21 ftp
- 23 telnet
- 25 smtp
- 79 finger
- 119 NNTP
-
- There are numerous others - see RFCs. Most services are not very
- sensible when used thru' telnet.
-
- NNTP, probably the most useful, has not been included in the current
- version of net. You'll have to use telnet news.demon.co.uk 119. Sorry !
