Telnet

The Telnet application is activated in the Internet
applications main view by selecting Telnet and
pressing Select. The Telnet application is used to
make a connection to a remote computer in or-
der to use its applications over the Internet. The
Telnet application functions and looks very much
like the Terminal application. Both applications,
Telnet and Terminal, emulate the VT100 terminal
display (see figure 7-8). The display occupies the
whole left side of the screen. The screen size is 80
characters in 24 lines.

new connection name. The name can be defined
