• Commandline Telnet Client...

    From Shurato@21:2/148 to All on Tue Jan 30 16:28:00 2024
    I need one that runs under windows 10 64bit other than the default. It
    doesn't support ANSI well enough. I tried plink.exe, but that didn't either. It needs to be CLI, GUI won't work for me. This is for doing ssh > telnet > bbs. Right now I'm using a Linux VM to use the Linux CLI telnet client,
    which works, but it uses a lot of resources. It's something that would need
    to run from a ForceCommand statement inside sshd_config using OpenSSL.

    Maybe someone that has done it can jump in. I believe there is a fake driver that pretends to be a modem. Then you can use the old Terminate or Telex dialup programs. you just put the address instead of a phone number. like this ATD or ATDT noverdu.com

    No, I need a CLI solution for ForceCommand in openssh. I need a solution still. GUI or mtelnet won't work.

    Yeah, that drops ansi. I found cygwin's telnet client and can almost get it
    to work. I've got the linux telnet client working from debian, but the same command line doesn't have as good of a display. I'm trying to get everything working under Windows and get rid of my linux vm which is just hogging resources to support ssh. I'm wondering what command line I need to use with cygwin's telnet to support ansi properly through an ansi terminal. It's
    almost identical to the linux terminal, but I can't quite figure it out. I'm sure it's a commandline option. I'm closer. I have the same results with plink.exe. I'm wondering if the --binary and --binary-output options might help.

    If I need a CLI I use Linux. Back in my DOS days the internet didn't exist so I never needed one. When I did I would dial up to a BBS and SSH in to a server and then use the CLI.

    do these telnet clients render correctly in "windows terminal" ? (get it in the app store) without syncterm or anything between?

    windows actually has an api call to turn ansi parsing on and off, since "classic" windows text mode programs shouldn't have built in ansi support (unless the programmer programmed it custom themselves, like mtelnet, or probably one of the syncterm output modes) and programs that know how to do it can just turn on the modern one.

    it's also possible that depending on how you run it, telnet behaves differently. it might be trying to parse ansi. the linux telnet program should
    be fairly transparent since it never had to parse ansi at all. (syncterm is doing it)

    this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51680709/colored-text-output-in-powershell-
    console-using-ansi-vt100-codes

    outlines a systemwide change to turn the Virtual Terminal stuff on by default.. though i'm not sure if it'll be much help. i remember writing a small program that turned it on and then spawned plink (think like: spawning a bbs door. it's running "inside" the little program so it shares the setting) the bottom post on there has the api call to do that if you're able to program something like that.

    Would...

    MODE CON CP SELECT=437

    ..from the command line, before telnetting, make any difference? It seemed to make a difference for my BBS ('telnet scbbs.nsupdate.info 61023') which is using codepage 437.

    Although I only get 8 colors. It appears one needs something fancy (https://superuser.com/q/413073) for 16-color (or higher) support from the command line.

    I didn't see a single reply after this message, but upon logging onto

    using plink.exe or cygwin's telnet would do that, but they just display
    garbled ansi that even syncterm can't interpret.

    You know CMD has "telnet" built into it in Windows. (7 anywaysm should
    be 10 as well) ... just type telnet from the dos prompt.

    That's what I was thinking. If you use Windows, just type "telnet" and
    the IP address into a terminal and you have telnet. It's not pretty
    and it doesn't display things very well, but it works.

    And if that isn't good enough, just go to the Microsoft Windows
    store and search for a free telnet client.

    ... If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

    the telnet program hasn't been installed by default on Windows since
    Windows 7. with the (though minimal) effort to install it, you might
    as well grab a copy of almost anything else.

    Ok, my original question still wasn't answered. I need a command line telnet client that doesn't parse ansi (like the linux one) for sshd's ForceCommand
    to telnet to the bbs and allow the user's telnet client to interpret the ansi. I tried PLINK.EXE from putty and telnet.exe from cygwin, but they don't
    display like the linux telnet client from a linux VM does. I was hoping for
    a windows solution, but it doesn't look like there is one. I'll stick with
    my Linux solution, I guess. It's just a waste of resources.

    perhaps using a program like netcat would work? (althought it wouldn't parse the telnet protocol itself so those characters might show in the window at connect)

    You're right, but if you like to do everything possible
    from the command line, you may as well install Telnet.

    Haven't read the whole thread of replies, but if you are looking for a terminal client, take a look at Telnite:

    ...or any other python telnet client, which are or can be done, to be run on Windows and Linux.

    That might work, but I get tons of errors when executing telnite.py. I
    posted a github issue.

    I'd love a solution that will run under Windows. This won't. I can't run
    WSL, it kills my VMWare VMs.

    I thought that Telnite and Python was working flawless under Windows and Linux at the same time. I was wrong. Thank you for the github issue and bringing this to my attention.

    For your problem... take a look in the Internet, perhaps there are other python scripts that may work. This one looks promising:
