Re: [aclug-L] Windows NT 4.0 and Telnet

["Brian J. Chapman" <bchapman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Microsoft makes a telent service (daemon) for NT called Microsoft Telnet
Service...how original eh? anyway, i belive its part of IIS...or is it
BackOffice...i forget. check http://www.microsoft.com/iis or
backoffice.microsoft.com for details. IIS is part of NT 4, but BackOffice
isn't and it's way overpriced. I've never used it, but i think its just a
CMD.EXE shell and is somewhat limited in what it can do, at least it used
to be.

However, i think you might be confusing the term Telenet with Proxy.
Telenet is just like opening up a DOS shell, but on another system. A
Proxy is what will allow you to use internet applications on your computer
or others that you specify. Microsoft makes this too, but it's way
bloated. I'd suggest downloading WinGate or somthing similar
(www.wingate.com).

BTW, you might have better luck asking this stuff in the microsoft usenet
groups and mailing lists rather than a Linux users group (even though some
of us are still forced to use NT on a daily basis). And you defenitly
don't want to ask NT only questions in the Linux usenet groups, you'll get
your head blown clean off.  ;-)

later,
