Re: Need a telnet program

AmTelnet is great if you don't need a chatline or a good ARexx port.  You can't stream all of the I/O through ARexx properly.  There is no ARexx logic for scripting.  On the chatline you have to hit tab every time you hit return making it annoying to use.  If you need a simple SSH telnet program AmTelnet is great but MiamiTelnet is just as good.  If you need a full ARexx port and will use the chatline at any time, I would recommend going with Term (not AmTerm, but Term) over AmTelnet.  Using Term and TelSer.device you can use the terminal package as a full blown telnet program.  Very slick when it's all set up.  The only thing AmTelnet has going for it is MUI, and that's not saying much in my book.
