Telnet protocol "plug-in"

Most internet protocols are handled by AWeb internally. Only telnet will require an additional program, or "plug-in".

A telnet: address is used to start a telnet session. If you own a telnet client that supports command line arguments. you can use this feature. A telnet address can contain:

   telnet://username:password@hostname:port

Argument parameters are:
%llogin name (user name) to use for logging in to this host
%wpassword to use with this user name
%hhost name
%pport number
%nscreen name that AWeb is running on, in case your telnet program supports opening on a public screen.

If your telnet client does not support all these parameters, you can use this example script. It will pop up a requester with the user name and password to use, if these were given in the address.

Start and stop your TCP stack

AWeb is able to start your TCP connection automaticallywhen it is needed.

Use the chooser to select one of the entries below. Then use the Command and Arguments fields to specify the necessary command and arguments.
Start TCPThis command is used to start your TCP stack automatically.

For example, if you use the AmiTCP/IP package, you would set command to:

   AmiTCP:bin/startnet

and leave the arguments field blank.

Argument parameters are:
%nscreen name that AWeb is running on, in case your TCP script or program supports opening windows on a public screen.

Important note:
The start TCP command should return when the TCP connection is active or fails. If your TCP program remains active during the session, you cannot use it directly. You have to use a script instead, like this example script, it uses this second script too.

OS4 users should also note that the native TCP stack, Roadshow, is started automatically during boot in the startup-sequence.

End TCPThis command is used to stop your TCP connection after your confirmation.

There are no argument parameter substitutions.

Important note:
If you used the example script for the Start TCP command, here is another example script to stop your TCP program.
