Let there be TELNET #2350
Let there be TELNET #2350
Conversation
The program checks the JNAME. TCPTN and TTN says to use TCP. NCPTN and OTN says to use NCP.
And a TECO macro to generate HOSTS PRETTY and HOSTS INSERT. The latter is needed for UT (user telet).
This is used by TN6.
Special features for talking to Multics.
The binary was traditionally located in SYS;ATSIGN STELNT, where ITS called upon it to serve ARPANET connections to socket 1.

I saw a line in TELSER:

I have tested UT a little bit. It's using socket 1 - the old TELNET. It seems to work, or at least I could see the banner text from the server. So I guess this can go in now. |
I haven't tested TN6 against Multics, but would like to... |
Yeah, me too. Alas, not much work has been done trying to get Multics on the 'net. There is a fledgling effort to get Multics on the Chaosnet, but Internet and Arpanet are far behind. |
I like to post premature pull requests, so here's a draft. You can never have enough TELNET.
This should resolve #1306 (UT - user telnet) and #1269 (TN6 - "Multics/Moon's" telnet). Both programs .INSRTs the host table, so that file is added too.
EDIT: Now also #1310 (STELNT - server telnet).
