telnet from Communicator 4

[Isabel Danforth]

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.  

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

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

Using winQVT’s term.exe 

	Entry in edit/preference/application/ URL:telnet

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

	bat file

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

EWAN

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