Telnet to a Remote Host Macintosh Version Introduction You telnet to a remote Internet host through use of a program that implements telnet communication protocol. At the Penn State microcomputer laboratories the SU-MacIP and Brown TN3270 programs are used on Macintosh systems for this purpose. When establishing a telnet connection it is normally important to know if the remote host requires VT100 or IBM3270 terminal emulation. If VT100 terminal emulation is required you should use the SU-MacIP program. If IBM3270 terminal emulation is required you should use the Brown TN3270 program. Telnet to remote host with SU-MacIP Starting from the Macintosh desktop, the following steps will establish a telnet connection to a remote host via SU-MacIP: -Double-click on the icon named LOCAL. -Double-click on the folder APPLICATION LAUNCHERS. -Double-click on the icon for SU-MacIP. -Select TELNET from the NETWORK menu. -Fill in the host name or IP address. Some systems require a login userid. If so, fill in that information also. For practice, you may use either of the following: LIAS.PSU.EDU or 128.118.XXX.XXX -A telnet connection will now be made with the remotes host. If you are asked, by the remote host, to supply a password, you will have to do that before you are granted entry into the remote host. -When you are finished with your telnet session you should issue the logoff, exit, or quit command for that host (if one is necessary). If there is no logoff, exit, or quit command for that remote host you should select DISCONNECT from the TELNET menu to close the telnet connection.
