- The man file telnet.man contains most of the information on how to use
- telnet. The only major changes to standard telnet are:
-
- New option -L<file>. Stores the byte count and address connected to in
- the file specified.
-
- New command ^d. Sends a ctrl-d to the remote machine. Useful if you are
- running TELNET under DLG (a BBS package) which filters ctrl-d's from the
- input stream.
-
- TELNET currently does nothing to try and report window sizes or window
- size changes. Also, an option to allow sending the ESC [ sequence, rather
- than the 0x9b CSI on curser and function keys should be included.
-
- The shell escape has been disabled from TELNET. This was to make it secure
- for use on a BBS. It also seems rather pointless on a machine where it is
- so easy to open another shell in another window.
