Telnet Does Not Provide Character Mapping

Microsoft Windows 95

The Telnet client utility that ships with Windows 95 (TELNET.EXE) does not support mapping characters to Telnet characters. For example, if you use Telnet to access a UNIX machine, some utilities let you map the BACKSPACE key to the DELETE key. TELNET.EXE does not provide this functionality.

The Telnet utility that ships with Windows 95 contains the basic features necessary to have a Telnet session to a host. Most UNIX hosts let you select the terminal type; therefore, you can overcome any keyboard incompatibilities.
