Subject: Re:telnet from Communicator 4

It has been interesting to make telnet work. What I have below is thanks =
to
suggestions from several folks.

I had to download communicator 4.02  to get this to work. It did not work
with Communicator 4.01a. =20

The default setting in edit/preference/application/ URL:telnet

	telnet %1
	That works, but the basic telnet is a bit clunky. =20

Using winQVT=92s term.exe=20

	Entry in edit/preference/application/ URL:telnet

		e:\netscape\telnet.bat   %1 %2  =20

	bat file

		e:\winqvt\terminal\term.exe   %1 %2  =20
		(to pass along non standard port)
=20
 	It appears to open and close one window, and then open the requested
telnet session.
=09

EWAN

	Just used e:\ewan\ewan.exe =20
	It connects fine to standard or non-standard port.
