Choosing a Host and Port

When you first run Kerb*Net Telnet for Windows, it will display a dialog box prompting for the host.  Enter the host name or click on the arrow to select one from your history.  If you want to connect to a different port from the standard telnet port, you can include the port number next to the host name, separated by a space.  Note that a telnet daemon must be running on that port.


Configuring Kerb*Net Telnet for Windows

You can configure whether Telnet interprets your backspace key as "backspace" or "delete" by selecting the appropriate choice from the "Configure" menu.

To change fonts, select "Font..." from the "Configure" menu.  You can select the font, style (e.g., bold, italic), and size.


Copying and Pasting

To copy text from your telnet window to the clipboard, select the text with the mouse, click on the "Edit" menu, and select "Copy", or use the shortcut "Ctrl+Insert".

To paste text from the clipboard into your telnet window, click on the "Edit" menu, and select "Paste", or use the shortcut "Shift+Insert".


Telnet Port

The standard telnet port is 23.  Other services, such as email and FTP, use other ports.


Telnet Daemon

The telnet daemon is a program on the remote host that enables your telnet program to log you into the host.


Backspace vs. Delete

On many UNIX hosts, the "Delete" key functions the same way as the "Backspace" key does in Windows.  If your Backspace key exhibits incorrect behavior in your telnet window, such as displaying "^H" or "^?", try switching it to the other mode.
