There may have been a Communications Toolbox (CTB) module for telnet, but I never used one. I think I used NCSA Telnet, BetterTelnet, and NiftyTelnet. > If you want "the terminal" in the sense of a comamnd prompt prepare to > be baffled: there is NONE on the old macs There *was* none. There is now: http://www.metamage.com/code/MacRelix/ It doesn't do any kind of terminal emulation, so it's no good for curses apps, but it has bare-bones implementations of tcpcat, tcpclient, and htget. TCP support currently depends on Open Transport, so you'll need System 7.5.x or later for that. > If instead you wish to run unix commands... MPW is what you want. MPW is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Unix. :-) There are several packages (besides MacRelix) that give you a Unix-like command shell in classic Mac OS: MacMiNT, PATMOS, Mac06, and MachTen, off the top of my head. I don't think the first two provide networking. The latter two are proprietary. All are unsupported. Josh -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
