Telnet is a way to log in a unix system remotely. To do this you need a
telnet program. Windows 95 comes with a telnet program and you can click
on the Start button in W95's lower right hand corner, for example, and
type telnet
www.spring.com to get to this conferencing system via
telnet. There are some great telnet programs out there like CRT that you
can download from Forrest Stroud's site. We'll talk about Win95 telnet,
CRT and many other telnet programs in this item. And cover the basics
about how to use telnet.

The telnet program from win95 is crap and very basic.
Forbetter telnet apps for windows, visit
http://www.windows95.com/apps/terminals.html and lots of free and shareware apps.
I use crt and netterm to telnet to this bbs

Is crt still the telnet program of choice? I am seriously considering making mine better than what Bill Gates allows me "for free"

By all means, you'll be making a quantum leap. CRT is what I use. Need I
say more?
Read the review in our apps conference. Or download it at
http://www.stroud.com my old buddy Forrest Stroud's site!

I shall - just needed an updated comment from the one which was a few years old.
Thanks, Terry!

You'll love CRT if you've been limping along with the Microsoft telnet
client. Set your scrollback buffer to 9999 (under options/session
preferences/emulation and under scripts you can set your username and
password.

Excellent! Thank you. I have set the font so I can actually see it (twas in 6 or 8pt type to start) and a few other options. It does glide along much more smoothly and I am sure Mr Stroud will be $30 richer by the end of the month. Thanks for the suggestions - I am just sorry I did not read this before now...but 14 hours a day just leave a little time for new conferences. I'm getting there, though!
Ok just set the buffer for 9999 and entered my login and password. Man that makes it so swift and easy. Much Mahalo!

Stroud won't get any richer. But the CRT folks will. It's worth it,
because it's so useful. Do you notice how quickly you can go through your
conference list? I wish we could make it this easy for folks on the web!

I have all but GenX and one other, I think, on my conference list so I can catch all of the posts. However, until I learn the command for CRT to back up and erase my mistyping, and I learn how to enlarge the print on my screen, this is going to be more slow-going than necessary. It is not as jerky and slow to show what you have typed, and that is a huge plus. On the web it is easier to go back through several posts to see just what the last comment was all about. If you do not have that ability, or do
not know how to enable it, you end (I end ) up posting something irrelevant and often very stupid-sounding. There are still a lot of folks just learning Windows, and the slower, the better for them! Still and all, CRT is lovely stuff.
What is netterm to which Ted Chong referred?

In CRT you can scroll back through you can scrool back through your buffer
(using the scroll bar or page up and page down keys) and read the previous
posts. You can do this even if you are in an editor. In telnet sessions
you can use either vi, pico (easer), or joe as an editor. There's a
native editor that comes with yapp that lett's you see whta's been said
before but it's crude for long postings. For short one liners it's great.
