One, first, gets themself a decent telnet off the net by going to this url
and downloading a copy of CRT and installing it on their system.
ftp://ftp.vandyke.com/pub/CRT/ntcrt23b1.exe
Then you need to set it up by opening it and saying yes to everything like
setting up a place for the .cfg file for whatever it is.
Then you go in to CRT and set up a telnet session to www.spring.net by
doing the following.
1. Pull down the File menu to New Window
2. Click on New and thus open the Session Preference menu
3. Under "Session" put the following:
Name: www.spring.net
Hostname or ip: www.spring.net
4. Click the emulation tab and change the scrollback buffer from 500 to
9999
5. Go to Display and pick your favorite background color if you like in
"Schemes" you may have to play around with this for a while.
6. Go to "Scripts" and put in your username and password.
You're set up! Then you can click on File and New Window and open a
telnet session to the spring. When you get this far, we'll give you all
kinds of help. You'll find this to be a lightning fast way to navigate
through all the new responses. You may want to do as I do and keep both a
telnet and a web session open at the same time to get the best of both
worlds.
Hope those directions are clear! William and a few others may have tips
for you too! Both Riette and Sonja have telnet access.

I'll try once the sister's gone. When she's on I have to look after the kids, and when I'm on she has to, and when the kids aren't here, we aren't here either! So I'll wait until everything is back to normal, and my cd covers are done, and then I'll try it. Remind me though, otherwise I'll probably forget.

Does anyone else have problems with the formatting of other's responses when using telnet? All of the responses I see are split in odd places, seeming as if the return key has been pressed at the wrong moment - anybody else? hints?

mike, that is a problem related to viewing responses written by
those coming in via the web. i am certain there is a way to fix
it but it would involve a lot of coding on the web and telnet
scripts, which i will hopefully get to at some point!
