Telnet under the Win7 command window is a pain, I also find that it throws up some spurious characters when editing source files. Any suggestions re a telnet counterpart that provides full windows capability, including scroll bars, font and colour selection? Googling Telnet seems to come up with nothing but .... Telnet.
OT? Telnet utility with a GUI screen

Telnet.You could install cygwin, which includes an X server and xterms, but that's a bit like hitting a nail with a sledgehammer. -- Randy Yates Digital Signal Labs http://www.digitalsignallabs.com

Putty is a single executable that fits nicely on a thumb drive. Installation is... copying one file. It also does serial ports and SSH. There may be SCP under it; I forget. Tera Term is fine, but more of a mess. -- Les Cargill
