Telnet access via WWW

[Debora A. Orf]

On the question of getting Netscape to recognize a telnet URL, the first
point is that you need another program like Ewan or Trumpet Telnet to act as
a Telnet Client for Netscape. After you have one of these installed, getting
Netscape to find it is relatively simple:

In Netscape 1.2 beta this works (windows 3.1 platform):
1) Open up the OPTIONS menu
2) Open up the PREFERENCES menu
3) Open up the "applications & Directories" page
4) For Telnet Application, use that little 'browse' button to move Netscape
into the directory where your telnet client is resident.
5) Double-click on the telnet client's executor (the .exe file, or whatever
runs it)
6) This should point Netscape to the clients executor file, so then when a
Telent URL is hit, it should fire.

If this does not answer your question, excuse my waste of bandwidth.
