Telnet app for OSX?
Spanky
One of the last Classic applications I'm clinging to is NCSA Telnet.
Is there a simple telnet app for OSX? Perhaps something built in, via
the GUI or terminal? Or can someone recommend a freeware app?
Thanks!

As mentioned, telnet is included in the BSD subsystem. If you don't
like command line telnet, look at mac.tucows.com. I'm sure there's
something there.

IMNSHO it's next to worthless - it doesn' even correctly emulate a
VT100 terminal, even less VT220 and up. Can't even use the arrow
keys in vi on the remost host.

that's what h,j,k,l are there for!
But yes it's annoying that telnet doesn't always work properly in that
respect.

I wouldn't know. I use SSH from Terminal and I have no problems. But
nothing could be worse than NT's telnet app.

either provide the name of the host on the command line:
% telnet my.host.com
OR:
% telnet
telnet> open my.host.com
"help" at the telnet prompt will give you more info, but 99.999999999% of the
time you just want to type "telnet my.host.com" at the terminal prompt.

BTW folks, most of you should never use telnet, use ssh instead. Before I
hear complaints, I said most, so I don't want to hear of your special case
that *requires* you to use telnet. For 99.9% of the world, telnet is unsafe
and undesired.
ssh encrypts your session, telnet does not. ssh also can propagate xauth
data so you inter-operate with X11 on Unix machines nicely.

Use this command:
% man telnet

Start Terminal.
Type , for instance, "telnet dar...@harvard.edu" and that should do it,
where 'dar...@harvard.edu' is the machine you usually connect to.

Because I'm not comfy with vi at all - I only use it when I have to,
which is when I telnet to a HPUX or Solaris server. It's hard enough
remembering to hit the escape key to end an input... :-)
Plus, I'm used to editors (and terminal emulators) that utilize the
full VT220 capabilities, and a large keyboard. Which incitentally
vi in HPUX and Solaris does.
My favorite non-Mac editor is still Digital's TPU/EVE ...

I don't understand what the problem is. The arrow keys work perfectly
well with vi in a Terminal window. I have tried it in sessions with
remote hosts running Solaris, AIX, and Darwin, all with TERM=vt100, and
the arrow keys work perfectly in every case. Something is wrong with
your environment.

I can't recall if they have an X native version yet, but if you don't
mind Classic/OS9, It should fill the bill. They have a demo that can be
downloaded from the site as well.
