Good day all...��Quick question. Can I use Window's telent.exe as a command in a door to�connect to an outside IP and have the I/O appear in the callers client? Reason�behind this, the IP i am trying to access requires a newer version of telnet�than what is supplied with Synchronet's telgate. At a command prompt using�Windows telnet I can access the site with no problems. Connecting to the system�with a client the system opens a DOS window, the information is displayed�within that window yet nothing to the incoming client. Do I need to configure�the Intercept I/O? Right now all I have toggled is Native to Yes and Shell to�yes.��Thanks���Bill��Telnet: bbs.tequilamockingbirdonline.net�Web: bbs.tequilamockingbirdonline.net�IRC: irc.tequilamockingbirdonline.net Ports: 6661-6670 SSL: +6697�Radio: radio.tequilamockingbirdonline.net:8010/live���...

Bill, I had the same problem you were seeing, but then it went away. The day�you posted about it, I set up a Telgate and everytime I got the first screen�that asked you to hit enter to continue, it would fall apart right there.�Nothing would happen at all. ��Now, since then I have tried it on your BBS and it works (except I can't see�what I have typed into the prompt, but the text is certainly there because it�works when I hit enter). Also, my own Telgate on my BBS is working just the�same as it is on yours. So, whatever was going on stopped, and it was probably�on Weather Underground's end. ��For what its worth, if I telnet directly through Windows Telnet, I can see�whatever I type for responses, but if I Telnet through SyncTerm directly, I�cannot see myresponses that I type. Not a big deal to me, but it was a�curious behavior. ��~KenDB3�---� � Synchronet � KD3net-Rhode Island's only BBS about nothing. �http://bbs.kd3.us�
