taTelnet

What is it?

Guess what? Here is a telnet program that emulates a DEC VT100 terminal with an extended "PC" mode. And if it doesn't work quite the way you want or is just plain broken, you can get the source code and fix it.

We appreciate additions and bug fixes. The whole point here is to create the best telnet program we can utilizing the collective brain power of the worlds programmers.

If you download taTelnet and find it useful (or not), please let me know at derry at techass.com. Praise, critizism, and/or comments are greatly appreciated. I want to know if it works for you or not. If you have problems, please email me and let me know what they are. I can't fix problems if I don't know they exist. Don't assume I know about something, email me and make sure I know.
