The pictures I saw of Advanced Telnet looked like "windowed" DOS sessions in 386 enhanced mode. That is, there was no resize ability, etc. So it wouldn't be exactly like "terminal". However, it would probably meet your needs, if you have a 386 and enough memory to run in enhanced mode. -- There is no right to free speech when someone else is paying you.

The Advanced Telnet is just like Reflection. I am no windoes wiz, but it appeared to run just like WQVTnet did. Maybe that's not running "in windows", but it sure looked like it was running in Windows. You could resize it, make it full screen and so on. -- Stan Barber sob@academ.com P.O.

WinQVTnet is a real windows application, A.T. is a DOS application, with a PIF file, that runs in a DOS session. -- The only satisfaction you can get from a cheap tool is throwing it away.
