excerpt from Sam Heywood:
Anyone knowing of any DOS Telnet clients other than the one supplied
as an Arachne APM (CUTCP) please post info and comments. I would like
to try out some others that might be out there.
(snip)
There is the possibility of using a DOS BBS program with TCPPORT.EXE in DOS, or
COMTCP.EXE with OS/2 Warp 4. I would like to try that, but have no occasion to
use telnet, since BBSes have been superseded by the Internet. I'm wondering
where I can try. I am probably the only one on this list to have used
COMTCP.EXE, and it is very doubtful if I will ever again be able to use
COMTCP.EXE. OS/2 Warp 4 installation may be damaged beyond repair. Hard drives
data may be damaged beyond repair. Now I use TCPPORT.EXE with X_* mail & news
programs in UKA_PPP.
For possible DOS telnet clients with TCPPORT.EXE, there is CONEX, and also a
program by Ralf Brown, known for putting together the interrupt list. I can't
remember the URL where I got it. Now I find something from RBROWN.TXT file
included in the PKZIP archive. This dates to 1995, so some links may be no
longer good. Development for DOS telnet or BBS-access software seems to have
practically ceased.

Change directly to directory /afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/ralf/pub with a
single command (directories above this are not accessible via

If connected to AFS, you can simply perform standard Unix/VMS/whatever
directory listing and file copies from the above directory.
Or visit my home page, and grab the files with your favorite web browser:
