Console Telnet for Win32

The Console Telnet webpage has moved to sourceforge. Please update your bookmarks to point to the new page at http://consoletelnet.sourceforge.net.

Introduction
Console telnet is a full screen (console) telnet client for MS Win32 environments. It can be run in full screen text mode (a DOS session) or in a graphic window. It supports ANSI colors, and has (almost) all the keys customizable. The latest version gets a score of 91 on vttest, which means you shouldn't experience any terminal emulation problems unless you're running a really weird application (compare: Windows 2000 Telnet gets a score of 39). You can also redirect the telnet session to STDIN and STDOUT for use with other programs. Telnet will communicate the number of lines and line width to the host, and can operate in any console mode.

Telnet Win32 is free software, released under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. You are welcome to use and distribute the sources and/or the binaries under the conditions of the license.

Remember that console telnet is a group effort, and everyone who makes a contribution or sends in a bug report is important to the project. Thanks to everyone who has helped, and keep up the good work!

Requirements
A 386 or better machine running Windows 95/98 or Windows NT, with Winsock TCP/IP stack. Telnet WILL NOT run under Win3.x, DOS, or Win32S.
