Just a guess, but it seems regular telnet supports line mode with the command "mode line"
>From the telnet man page : mode Type Specifies the current input mode. When the Type variable has a value of line, the mode is line-by-line. When the Type variable has a value of character, the mode is character-at-a-time. Permission is requested from the remote host before entering the requested mode, and if the remote host supports it, the new mode is entered. I just did a test against a "nc -l -p 8888" listener using "telnet localhost 8888". Changing from "mode char" to "mode line" (after Ctrl-] the telnet session definitely seems to change the line discipline ( I think that is the term) Regards, Martin Martin Visser Technology Consultant Consulting & Integration Technology Solutions Group - HP Services 410 Concord Road Rhodes NSW 2138 Australia Mobile: +61-411-254-513 Fax: +61-2-9022-1800 E-mail: martin.visserAThp.com This email (including any attachments) is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary or privileged.

My second wacky request for the day! I'm logged in to a device on the far end of a satellite link, so latency is on the order of a couple of seconds. Due to vagaries that I haven't yet sorted out, the regular telnet client that Ubuntu ships in the telnet package doesn't like talking to these devices, so I usually use putty, which also has handy logging features. But the latency here is a real drag. So. Are there any good telnet clients around that are line-buffered? I want to be able to type a line and hit enter to send the whole thing over the wire at once, rather than individual characters. -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
