[Coco] Tutorial on Telnet/inetd on Coco3 DW4 (is there one?)

[Bob Devries]

All:

it looks like it's mandatory to redirect the output of inetd to *somehwere* it keeps outputting debug information.

So maybe:

inetd >/w&

would be better. I'll try that out soonest. I'm still playing :)

I did find out that you *don't* press the up-arrow key on the PC keyboard; that terminates TeraTerm.

  Hi all,

  I'd love to see a quick tutorial on how to use telnet between my coco3 running DW (inetd et al) and my PC running TeraTerm (in Telnet client mode)

  So far, I started up inetd like this:

  inetd&

  which caused it to print:

  opened inetd.conf ok
  Reading line: 6806 telnet protect banner,login,
  Send listen
  Got netpath and setup ports
  SS.SSig on NetPath

  I can then press ENTER and that takes me back to the OS-9 prompt.

  I'm assuming somesort of username/password needs to be setup (in SYS?). What else do I need?

  If I start up TeraTerm, and set it to use TCP and Telnet, it soon times out and quits.

  What else do I need to know, and where can I find that information?
