File: telnet.el.html

This mode is intended to be used for telnet to a remote host; telnet is the entry point. Multiple telnet sessions are supported.

Normally, input is sent to the remote telnet line-by-line, as you type RET or LFD. C-c C-c sends a C-c to the remote immediately; C-c C-z sends C-z immediately. C-c C-q followed by any character sends that character immediately.

All RET characters are filtered out of the output coming back from the remote system. The mode tries to do other useful translations based on what it sees coming back from the other system before the password query. It knows about UNIX, ITS, TOPS-20 and Explorer systems.

You can use the global telnet-host-properties to associate a telnet program and login name with each host you regularly telnet to.
