7-16 Define Telnet connections
Telnet
To activate the Telnet application:
1 Go to the Internet applications main view.
2 Scroll down to Telnet and press Select.
The Telnet application is used to make a connec-
tion to a remote computer via the Internet.
The Telnet application is similar to the Terminal
application, in that both applications emulate
the VT100 terminal display (see Figure 7-8).
The display occupies the left side of the screen
(screen size is 80 characters in 24 lines).
Once a Telnet connection is established, you
must (in most cases) enter your login name and
password in order to be able to use the services
provided by the host computer. The Telnet main
view shows all pre-defined Telnet hosts.
To connect with a pre-defined Telnet host, select
a host and press Connect (see "Define Telnet
connections: Telnet commands" on page 7-16).
To create new or edit existing connections, press
Define (see "Define Telnet connections" below).
