83390 2002-09-26 02:08:00 I gather Macs only got telnet natively from OS 10... was wondering if anyone knows whether any versions have something similar to Hyperterminal in Windows, i.e. a native terminal emulator? This is for router configuration, and as the earlier versions don't come with telnet, I was thinking you could get around it with a terminal session to the router.

Cheers

P.S: (thanks Jim for your answer to my earlier telnet question)

Better Telnet seems to be one of the best, ZTerm is the original Mac emulator

Kermit is still around ... that's magnificent but a bit oldfashioned now. We did a lot of file transfers with that. (I never managed to get it going "reliably" on the Apple II, though. :-()
