Telnet Client for CP/M - Beta Release

Post by Dave »

A new MFX user asked whether there was a Telnet client available for MFX. At the time, there wasn't, but after imposing on Bill and him fitting it into his already busy schedule, there is now :D

The first public release is available on the MFX Software page http://primrosebank.net/computers/mtx/p ... htm#telnet

NB: This release should be considered to be a Beta and can be expected to contain a few gremlins, particularly as, in Bills, words, " It should be noted that both the full telnet specification and the ANSI display specification are complex standards. The CP/M telnet client I have produced is by no means a full implementation of either standard"

Please log any issues or problem in this thread.

However, as well as the executable telnet. com, the archive contains "C" source code for the application and required support files for the WIZNet network module. Should the current version not meet your specific needs, feel free to modify it as required, but as a courtesy, please upload a copy of your modified source to this thread.

During the development of telnet.com, Bill also created another program, loadfont.com, which provides MFX with the ability to load alternative character sets to the emulated 80 column card. The stand alone loadfont program is available from http://primrosebank.net/computers/mtx/p ... m#loadfont
