Good day all...ããQuick question. Can I use Window's telent.exe as a command in a door toãconnect to an outside IP and have the I/O appear in the callers client? Reasonãbehind this, the IP i am trying to access requires a newer version of telnetãthan what is supplied with Synchronet's telgate. At a command prompt usingãWindows telnet I can access the site with no problems. Connecting to the systemãwith a client the system opens a DOS window, the information is displayedãwithin that window yet nothing to the incoming client. Do I need to configureãthe Intercept I/O? Right now all I have toggled is Native to Yes and Shell toãyes.ããThanksãããBillããTelnet: bbs.tequilamockingbirdonline.netãWeb: bbs.tequilamockingbirdonline.netãIRC: irc.tequilamockingbirdonline.net Ports: 6661-6670 SSL: +6697ãRadio: radio.tequilamockingbirdonline.net:8010/liveããã...

Bill, I had the same problem you were seeing, but then it went away. The dayãyou posted about it, I set up a Telgate and everytime I got the first screenãthat asked you to hit enter to continue, it would fall apart right there.ãNothing would happen at all. ããNow, since then I have tried it on your BBS and it works (except I can't seeãwhat I have typed into the prompt, but the text is certainly there because itãworks when I hit enter). Also, my own Telgate on my BBS is working just theãsame as it is on yours. So, whatever was going on stopped, and it was probablyãon Weather Underground's end. ããFor what its worth, if I telnet directly through Windows Telnet, I can seeãwhatever I type for responses, but if I Telnet through SyncTerm directly, Iãcannot see myresponses that I type. Not a big deal to me, but it was aãcurious behavior. ãã~KenDB3ã---ã þ Synchronet þ KD3net-Rhode Island's only BBS about nothing. ãhttp://bbs.kd3.usã
