Telnet → Telnet Overview

This article describes a function or feature of the software ZOC Terminal. The feature or element of the software described here is 'Telnet Overview'. ZOC Terminal is a professional terminal emulator that is well known for its extensive features, security, user friendlyness, wide range of emulations and quality of emulation implementation. ZOC Terminal is a common choice to replace other terminal emulators like Putty, Kitty, Termius, Secure-CRT, Attachmate Extra!and others.

The Telnet connection type allows access to remote hosts through an internet or LAN connection using the telnet protocol.

To make a connection to a host you provide the host name or internet address in the Connect To field, e.g. bbs.hogwarts.edu. ZOC will then try to connect to the host using your internet connection.

You will be connected to the standard Telnet port (23) of the remote host. If you want to connect to different port, you may provide the port number or service name after the host name or address separated by a colon or space. Examples: mail.hogwarts.edu 25 or mail.hogwarts.edu:25 or mail.hogwarts.edu smtp.

If the remote host is accepting TCP stream connections, but if it is not running the full telnet protocol (e.g. SMTP or other RFC protocols) you can enable the Pure Socket Connection option in the Telnet settings.

In some cases, when you get an NO RESPONSE error you can try to put an * (asterisk) in front of the host name (or address). This way ZOC will not try to ping the host before making the call (this will help for hosts which take very long to respond): *slowhost.leisure.net
