Resources & Command Line Options
Telnet Session
Initiate Telnet Session With Host
Resource:
Command Line: -tnhost hostname
Default Setting: Not applicable
These commands enable you to cause TeemTalk to initiate a telnet session with the
specified host.
Most emulations work quite well in the standard TeemTalk environment when the
telnet process provided with the workstation is used to make the connection to the
remote host. However, in some block mode emulations, especially the Tandem 6530
and IBM 3270, the telnet process does not pass all the necessary information to
TeemTalk.
To overcome this, TeemTalk has its own inbuilt telnet driver so that precise control
can be exercised over the information that TeemTalk receives and transmits. You must
use the telnet facility provided by TeemTalk when using block mode emulations such
as Tandem 6530 and IBM 3270.

Resource:
Command Line: -tnport number
Default Setting: 23

different from the default port number 23.
Telnet Keepalive Messages
Resource:
Command Line: -tnkeepalive
Default Setting: Enabled
