Post #223,317 by folkert 9/7/05 12:44:41 AM Reply	For one thing... Don't use Telnet. And yes, putty does telnet better than most. It also does SSH. Not I know both personally and indirectly that openSSH runs on VMS. There ar a few tricks, but it is very doable. You might just want to mention that Telnet is plain text. SSH is a much better solution, best of all most SSH Clients can manage to hang onto a connection much better than telnet (including Putty) -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]

Am I mixing up the terminology to say that they're using telnet? === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #223,388 by folkert 9/7/05 10:12:03 AM Reply	DING...DING...DING! Some companies use a Suite of things when they only need a Terminal Emulator. Reflections is a suite, of which one of the protocols it supports is telnet. Cost is mucho too much for just an emulator. Drew: Try Putty and see if it works and turn on the keepalives. They could do that now and still keep Reflections. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]

Firstly, PuTTY is excellent at hanging onto a connection, as long as you turn on the keepalives. It has a habit of letting connections time out if you don't. Secondly, yes, SSH does run on VMS, but unless Droo's people have got a software subscription, those MicroVAXen are likely to be running something reasonably ancient (i.e. VMS 6.x or even earlier), and SSH is only supported on VMS 7.3 onward. It works teh roxxor.

telnet is of itself not connection oriented - (boxley) - (2) - Sept. 6, 2005, 08:40:26 PM EDT

It's a TCP protocol, so *is* connection-oriented -NT - (pwhysall) - (1) - Sept. 7, 2005, 01:11:12 AM EDT

swat I said its the transport not the app -NT - (boxley) - Sept. 7, 2005, 09:33:08 AM EDT
