Telnet apps for Netscape/WIN95 setup

[Alejandro Garza Gonzalez]

I'd say WinQVT 3.98 's Telnet client offers the best solution IMO for 
public access workstations-- it doesn't offer too many menus for the user 
to fiddle with (you can write-protect the settings file to fix them 
permanently too), it has a no-clutter interface (no button toolbar to get 
in the way), has a right-on emulation for vt100, vt220 and ANSI, and can 
be run from Netscape via its TNSTART.EXE 'helper' app.

The minus side is that it must always be running in the background; 
TNSTART only communicates to WinQVT that it should launch its telnet 
client. 

If you use Flute to hide the Program Manager and other windows, it's pretty
bullet-proof. (see the web4lib ref. center, "Netscape Timeout for 
Windows").
