I'm looking for a better telnet program than the one that came with my
Slackware 3.0 distribution. Specifically, I'd like something with a
doorway-like mode like is often used in DOS modem sessions, such that
the alt-sequences and function keys can be sent over the line instead
of trapped by the program itself.
Can Kermit do this? It has to work over an ethernet, not just a SLIP
or modem connection. I got a copy of rtelnet from sunsite that's over
200k and might do the job, but there was nothing in the archive but
the executable -- no docs, no readme, nothing. I'm finding it
impossible to determine its capabilities. Where can I get a decent
version of Kermit for Linux?
Something that will allow me to remap the backspace key so I no longer
have to use ctrl-backspace, and that will send a CR-LF sequence instead
of just a CR, would also be advantageous.
Thanks in advance,
Bruce Bowman
