MacTelnet on Mac OS X is now a complete replacement for Terminal, allowing access to both local and remote applications.
Its many features include powerful terminals (with or without tabs), a very flexible preferences system, TEK vector graphics, dynamic search, notifications and keep-alive, macros, a floating command line window, special keypads, a session manager, and even a basic Python scripting interface. It's even free software under the GPL.
MACMEND Just downloaded the latest version, as i have been looking for a telnet client that was easy to use and away we go, no problems and does what it says on the tin, so top marks, got me on the router and checking the WAN I have just taken over the management of. (Version 3.0a31)
KEVIN GRANT I regret any startup problems users have encountered in the past, but I only have 3 machines to test with. Please report problems directly to me, so that I may fix them. It is most valuable if you enable the Crash Logs feature of the Console utility and then send me any relevant logs written to the Library/Logs folder of your home folder. Thanks! (Version 3.0a29)
ANONYMOUS Crashes on launch. Runs its search for scripts...then bails. Looks good in the screen shots. I'd love to try it, but not really possible if it won't run.
NEIL The description says: "Macs do not have terminal screens or a "command line interface", but telnet applications offer you both." Huh??? This app is for OS X and OS X ships with Terminal. Just type "telnet" in the terminal window. (Version 3.0a27)
ROCK_LOBSTER Will this app do anything more than the telnet app built into OS X, accessible via the *command line interface* of the *Terminal* utility??? (btw, OS X has ssh as well, a secure version of telnet) (Version 1.0pr1)
