  • How to get the special non-Ascii characters (umlauts) displayed correctly?

    Go to

    Menu 'Options' > 'Input-/Output Key Mapping' -> Button 'Language Support'

    and select a suitable code page.

    UP
  • How can I change the code page for my TelNet98 sessions to CP 437?

    TelNet98 uses the OEM code page of the Windows installation.
    Thus, it is required to configure CP 437 in Windows. Go to

    Control Panel -> Regional Settings

    and assign 'English (United States)' as the language option to use with non-unicode (DOS) programs.

    UP
  • How can I map the comma in the numeric keypad into period?

    Go to

    Menu 'Options' > 'Input-/Output Key Mapping' -> Button 'Language Support'

    and select a code page, marked with 'Decimal Point'.

    UP
  • Why is my inkjet printer so slow when printing in Windows GDI mode?

    Go to

    Windows Control Panel -> Printers

    and set the printing quality for your printer to Draft Quality.

    UP
  • Why does my printer print only a blank page in 'Passthrough' mode?

    This effect occurs if the printer driver doesn't support the PASSTHROUGH function.
    Use an other driver, e.g. 'Generic / Text Only'

    UP
  • How can I manage multiple connections with TelNet98?

    The file menu items Save As and Create Shortcut have been implemented for this purpose.
    Just save your session settings as a file.
    TelNet98 file documents are registered in Windows and can be directly started by double clicking the file's icon in Windows. Each document contains its own set of session parameters (hostname, login, colors, etc. ...).

    UP
  • Is there any quicker way to modify saved TelNet98 files, than importing and saving them again?

    Yes, there is. TelNet98 comes with a shell extension.
    To quickly modify a TelNet98 document open the context menu (right mouse click on the file's icon), and select Edit Telnet Options, this will open a telnet property sheet.
    UP
  • How can I create a TelNet98 Intra or Internet link?

    There are two ways to create such a link:

    1. The Standard link
    Code sample:

    <A HREF="telnet://www.hostname.com"> simple Telnet Link </A>

    2. The TelNet98 enhanced link (will assign a complete set of session properties)
    - in TelNet98's Open Dialog save your preferred session data in a file, e.g. named session.etn
    - upload this image file to your web server
    - add the following HTML code to your web page:

    <A HREF="session.etn"> TelNet98 Session with all properties </A>

    UP

    Yes, with  RGB-EDIT.EXE.

    Best is to use the Windows Uninstaller:

    Control Panel -> Add / Remove Program -> Eric's TelNet98

    UP

    2. Try another TERM= value
     
    3. Ask your system administrator to create a telnet98 term type, using our optimized terminal drivers
