7-16 Define Telnet connections

Telnet

To activate the Telnet application:

1Go to the Internet applications main view.

2Scroll down to Telnet and press Select.

The Telnet application is used to make a connec- tion to a remote computer via the Internet.

The Telnet application is similar to the Terminal application, in that both applications emulate the VT100 terminal display (see Figure 7-8). The display occupies the left side of the screen (screen size is 80 characters in 24 lines).

Once a Telnet connection is established, you must (in most cases) enter your login name and password in order to be able to use the services provided by the host computer. The Telnet main view shows all pre-defined Telnet hosts.

To connect with a pre-defined Telnet host, select a host and press Connect (see "Define Telnet connections: Telnet commands" on page 7-16).

To create new or edit existing connections, press Define (see "Define Telnet connections" below).
