Hi all.
I wanted to ask if anyone is aware of a DOS based terminal or communications program that supports telnet connectivity, and the ability to conduct file transfers via X, Y or Z Modem protocols?
The last time I was working on this, I setup my Compaq Portable II system and got it working with the newly installed NIC. I was able to view my test webpage (slowly) and even see email, so the computer was connecting to the Internet. What I found hard to find was a DOS Comm program that had both elnet connectivity and then X, Y or Z modem transfer protocols. The few Telnet programs I found did not seem to have any method for downloading or uploading files.
The main reason I'm looking for such a program is to connect to vintage BBSes that now support telnet connections. There are plenty of programs that can do all that I described above, but they are all for Windows. I'd love to find a similar program to MTelnet, but for DOS and 286/386 type systems. Hell, I'd be really happy if there was a PROCOMM like package for DOS that had telnet connectivity built in.
So, I wanted to ask if anyone here might know of a program with the above features, that works in MS-DOS, or DR-DOS on 286/386 systems.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
John
