We are running PC-NFS 3.5 under Windows 3.0 and are unhappy with the telnet sessions taking over the machine. Can anyone tell me if Advanced Telnet actually opens up telnet sessions on the Windows screen (like the Terminal program in Windows) instead of switching out of Windows completely? Thanks. -- David Bradford Internet: bradford@bu-ast.bu.edu Systems Manager BITnet: bradford@buasta Astronomy Department NSI/DECnet: buasta::bradford Boston University Phone: (617)353-4884

Advanced Telnet is a DOS application than you *can* run in a window if you want to. It requires a TSR that uses about 80-100k of memory so it's difficult to run any large application at the same time as Advanced Telnet. Chuck -- Charles H.

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.

Yes, it can run as a windows screen, but the manual states that it prefers to run as a DOS application. Gary Bushey | StarLAN Administrator | Your message here! bushey@uvm.edu |

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.

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. -- The only satisfaction you can get from a cheap tool is throwing it away.
