telnet links

[Sheryl Dwinell]

We have links to several online library catalogs that are text-based and
have telnet links that include a port number. Currently, I have them set up
like this: 

<a href="telnet://library.university.edu:6000">

However, we're finding that some telnet apps can't seem to interpret the
port number. We've had suggestions to set this up with one or two spaces in
place of the colon, but this still doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else
experienced this problem? I'm not quite sure what to tell folks except tell
them to install a different telnet client.  Any suggestions?

thanks much,
