 JW> Nah..still don't get it. I remember using Telix
 JW> and..hmm...what was the name of that other one...before

procomm? qmodem? {COMMO}?

 JW> I ever loaded Windows 3.1 on my computer. Hell, even
 JW> Ripterm was a plain vanilla DOS program, wasn't it?

yes but they weren't used over a telnet connection...

 JW> Damn...what was the name of that other term prog....I
 JW> used it a lot...had it's own host mode.....hmmm..
 JW> Procomm? Can't remember...but it had Zmodem....

most all terminal programs had some sort of host mode or scripting ability to 
create one...

 JW> Oh well, either way - it doesn't appear that I'm
 JW> missing something - this appears to be "non-news".

but you are missing the important part... you are missing the fact that you/we 
used to run our terminals directly over the phone lines but with today's 
technology, they are being used as telnet terminals which means that they have 
to run encapsulated within the TCP/IP and telnet streams...
