However there is a workaround for now. Instead of invoking the TELNET frontend, you can run the EMTELNET program directly, using the following syntax: emtelnet IPADDR -p PORT -h HOST -e EMUL -d NFSDRIVE for example emtelnet 192.9.215.185 -p 23 -h cookie -e VT100 -d C The IPADDR and HOST refer to the same system: the HOST name is used only for display purposes. (The objective here is to keep the name resolution code out of the potentially TSRable Telnet runtime.) -- Geoff Arnold, Sun Microsystems Inc.+------------------------------------------+ PC Distrib.
