telnet AmiTCP/IP User Commands telnet NAME telnet -- Network Virtual Terminal program for logging to a remote host SYNOPSIS telnet HOST/A,SERVICE DESCRIPTION Telnet communicated with another host using TELNET protocol. Once a connection has been opened, telnet enters input mode. In this mode, text typed is sent to the remote host. The input mode entered will be either "character at a time" or "line by line" depending on what the remote system supports. In "character at a time" mode, most text typed is immediately sent to the remote host for processing. In "line by line" mode, all text is echoed locally, and only completed lines are sent to the remote host. This version of telnet uses the COOKED mode of interface handler to provide locally echoed line by line mode. While connected to a remote host, telnet command mode may be entered by typing the telnet "escape character". That is `^C' (control-c) when operating in line-by-line mode and `^]' (control-right-bracket)) in character mode. This version of telnet has a simple one-character command options, which are the following: ^] -- send ctrl-], only available at character mode. r -- resume session, continues the session normally. q -- quit telnet. closes connection and exits. c -- tries to enter character mode. remote host may forbid this. l -- enters line-by-line mode. ? -- shows this command list on user's terminal. Telnet may fail when user has written an unknown hostname or service. There is a possibility that TCP/IP is not running or TCP: not mounted. REQUIREMENTS Inet-handler 1.73 (or newer) must be mounted as TCP: in your machine and you must be running inet-handler compatible TCP/IP protocol stack such as AmiTCP/IP.
