Hi,

I just finalized my work on Telnet65 v1.0, a VT100 Telnet client. I guess it can best be described as remake of Kipperterm. Like Kipperterm it is based on IP65 combined with the VT100 code of Cater (http://www.opppf.de/Cater/). However it's strictly VT100 and comes as disk .PRG file.

Telnet65 is based on the latest IP65 code which contains several bugfixes and autodetects both the RR-Net and the ETH64.

Telnet65 is based on the latest Cater code which contains significant improvements. Additionally I added support for that line drawing seen i.e. in Midnight Commander.

I have no idea what VT100 Telnet clients for the C64 are available so I can't assess how interesting Telnet65 actually is, especially given that it does not use soft80 but the stock 40 col text screen.

I fixed some issues -> v1.1

Wow. This is cool! Been meaning to do this for the past 10+ years. Good someone finally did

Nice job Oliver!

The very same is true for me regarding the Apple II - which didn't have any Telnet client at all so far - and which is predestined as Telnet client given that 80 column support is very broad.
Thanks for the positive feedback

Just curious, does the C64 version try to negotiate a 40 columns window size?

Surely! Just check out 'Midnight Commander'. It is fully adjusted to 40 columns and therefore works just fine. And it is by the way a nice show case for the mapping of the VT100 underline and bold attributes to colors.

Lovely!

Hi,

I just released v1.2:

- Beside some minor issues I fixed a bug in IP65 (the TCP/IP stack used by Telnet65) that kept Telnet65 from connecting successfully to several types of servers.

- Telnet65 is now also available for the Atari (beside the C64 and the Apple //) thanks to the Christian Groessler.
