Hi Tim, thanks for weighing in on this. I believe you are right. The ?No such host name - "203.38.121.133" response is a string, so it is looking for a string. 

I tried a reverse DNS on the 203.38.121.133 IP address and got ddmcomputers.com.au which works fine.

I wonder if there is some kind of 'host' command that will convert the IP into a string that the program will accept. Reverse DNS works on external registered IP addresses, but not the internal LAN address of my PC. I guess it might work if I found out what my Internet IP address is.

I will have another look at the telnet documents

cheers

remote telnet into TOPS-20

Tim Radde <timr...@gmail.com>: Jul 31 06:57AM -0700 Couold be something local is blocking the numeric IP? What does it display as an error when this fails?

Andrew Barron <zl...@outlook.co.nz>: Jul 31 05:26PM -0700 @TELNET TELNET>203.38.121.133 7300 ?No such host name - "203.38.121.133"   @telnet TELNET>open 208.38.121.133 7300 ?No such host name - "open"     The IP address works from Windows using PuTTY, and it works from the Raspberry Pi using open.   I'm not too worried as I have worked out FTP now. Do you have any idea how to get printing to work on TOPS20? When I print the job just gets added to the printspooler. It never gets sent to the file on the Linux platform. This works on TOPS10, but not on TOPS20.   cheers AndrewB

Tim Radde <timr...@gmail.com>: Jul 31 06:20PM -0700 That seems odd. A numeric IP won't need a DNS lookup. It's almost like it's taking that as a string and trying to do a lookup. Can you add a temporary DNS entry for that as a string and then give it the IP?
