COM link via telnet.

I need to connect to a serial device via telnet.
I'm looking for a minicom version win32.
I tried Telix on windows 2003 but it can not be installed (it gives me an error about 16 bit
application).
Does anyone know which application I can use to do that?
I don't want to use Remote Desktop Connection as the bandwidth is limited (1 ISDN channel) and other
traffic must flow while I'm working in the same time.

Any help will be appreciated indeed.

Alex.

There is a built-in Telnet client (and server on server) on
all Win2000+ systems with IP.

These are plane vanilla versions and you can likely find
much better on the Internet for little or NO COST if you
need them.

Ok, RDP is pretty efficient but if you don't want to
use it that makes sense.

What specifically are you having trouble doing?

Client? Server? Particular feature?

If it is client, you might just try typing:

telnet Rem.System.IP.Address

Oh, and I have run Telix on NT and Win2000 so it
and most other 16-bit programs can be made to run
on XP-Win2003 if you fiddle the compatibility settings.

I'm NOT looking for a telnet client. I need a pro gramme like Telix and Kermit that can allow me to
access to a device via serial connection (COM1) and work fine through the telnet connection.

I'll explain better my environment.
I'm on host A, the device C is connected via a serial connection (COM1) to host B. I want to connect
via telnet from host A to host B and then on host B launch the Kermit or Telix or whatever to access
the device C via serial connection.

I tried to do this with kermit but when I run it the cursor starts to jump around the monitor and I
can not stop it or kill kermit.

Have you any ideas how to do that?

Bye
Alex.

I am pretty sure that I have run the DOS version of
Telix on a fairly recent system.

Does it have to be Kermit or Telix? There are plenty
of modem/terminal programs....

Hyperterminal (free version) is even included with
some verions of the OS.

I must open an telnet connection and within that connection I must run a software that allow me to
access the device via COM1!

Alex.

Ok, you might have been clear about that before.

It isn't that you want Telnet to do this, but you wish to
do it FROM a Telnet command line.

Ok, you need something that is not going to write directly
to even the DOS screen (telnet doesn't virtuallize that fully.)

Probably Telix doesn't work for this either.

Have you EVER had this working on a Windows machine?
(What programs/OS)?

Have you searched for such text based com/modem programs?
(TuCows or maybe SimTel would be my first choices, maybe
SourceForge.net)

BTW, you might have to start a new thread since I am going
to be unable to respond quickly after tonight (for a few days).

You're correct.

Yes, opening "DOS shell" it works.

The thread will be forever as the argument is important not the date. If you want you can continue a thread started on
1996 ;-)-

OK, I'll keep in mind.

Thanks, Alex.

So have you actually installed Telix and tried it on this
system?
