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.

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.

According to a very reliable source who has personally used A.T. and
knows PCs and Windows, sob's comments are not accurate. WinQVTnet is
a real windows application, A.T. is a DOS application, with a PIF file,
that runs in a DOS session.
