[comp.protocols.appletalk] NCSA telnet supporting SLIP

kovar%popvax@HARVARD.HARVARD.EDU (01/18/90)

  Someone asked for details on using the version of NCSA telnet found
on Cisco's FTP machine. I just found an old message in my mailbox
concerning just that. Here it is.

A SLIPed version of NCSA Telnet 2.2 can be gotten from ftp.cisco.com as
telnet.hqx. It requires that you dial the phone with some terminal emulator
and then start up Telnet. But it does support BOOTP and larger (>24) line
screens.

The other drawback is no documentation.

New configuration commands:

hardware=slipN where N is the line speed (i.e. 9600)
vtlength=N where N is the length of the window (per host configuration)

It also has a user ftp courteous of BYU. Select Service FTP from the open
file dialog.
