TELNET URL's with Netscape

[Steve Ryan]

I'm also interested in how we can use telnet for Macintosh via Netscape and
directly login to our new opac (III) with the window opening at the front
of netscape. The opening at the front works but actually telnetting
directly and automatically logging in is another question. Users shouldn't
be required to enter a login.
Is netscape moving towards integrating telnet?
What is the best telnet package for automating logins on Macs?
Is it possible to add the login as part of the URL? How is this achieved?
