Title: Telneting to your Amiga from Windows
Post by: carls on June 08, 2003, 05:16:27 PM
After some fruitless attempts to set up a telnetd on my Amiga I finally managed to get everything working correctly - and it was just a mouse click away in PuTTY! I just turned on "Implicit CR in every LF" for my Amiga profile and HEY PRESTO! Kinda stupid though that the telnetd doesn't handle this.

This is how it looks (http://carls.1av10.nu/amitelnetd.gif)

I remember years ago, doing something similar using DOS and mounting AUX: device on the Amiga side.

IIRC, aux: is for serial terminals... Have you got any more info on this? It would be pretty cool to be able to hook you PC to your Amiga as a text terminal :-)

It's years since I did it, but it was easily done.  Once I've got my new A500+ or my new A1200 up and running, i'll do it and post the steps on here.

I just tried it, and it works perfectly for me, without setting  "Implicit CR in every LF"

I just downloaded This telnet server (http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/aminet/comm/tcp/telnetd2_0.lha) and configured Miami "as it's what i am running as current stack on that computer".

Withing 3 minutes i could login and do all shell-stuff on my pc..     :-)

@Olle
Hmm, I use the same server but with AmiTCP. Perhaps that's why I have to use the CR/LF conversion.

@mdma

It would be very nice to see how you did it! Keep me posted :-)

Yep, that could be it, unfortunately i don't have amitcp available on that machine, but i will surely try it when back at work again.. (i have my desktop A1200 over there)   :-)

IIRC I just used my terminal software i used to connect to BBS's on the PC, and used a NULL modem cable to connect the Amiga to the PC. Mounted AUX: and that was it.

As I said before, I'll check it out properly when I've got my new Amiga's up and running.
