TELNET PROBLEMS
Most newer Web Browsers include a pre-configured ready-to-go Telnet client program that allows you to use telnet from within the browser.
However, many of the older systems, system running older versions of Windows and systems that are using Netscape Navigator, don't have this included in the system and you need to add a program and configure the browser to have this capability.
This page contains information on most of the browsers and systems we have come across that have this problem and includes steps to take to obtain the necessary client program and configure the browser to use it.
As the demand for access to DIMENET systems has greatly increased recently, DIMENET support lines have been inundated with requests for assistance with configuring browsers so that they will work with Telnet Tags.
If your configuration is different than above or are experiencing different access problems, please contact Roland Sykes by E-Mail and we will find out what specific information you require and add it to the same page. Until this information is posted, you can contact the browser manufacturer for instructions on how to activate this.
Thank you....
This browser should already be configured for use with telnet.
It is highly advised that you upgrade this version of browser to 2.0 or 3.0 as it has several bugs that will prevent you from doing many functions.
