Is there a client that uses telnet? I cannot use the normal client to
connect to games, but must instead use a telnet connection. I am currently
working on a custom client that will use telnet and allow me to 'map',
'orbit' and 'encrypt', but if there is already such a creature out
there, it would sure save me a lot of grief!

Thanks in advance! And Happy New Year!

There is GBPC, which uses an IBM Compat PC as a GB client, it
connects via a modem as a dumb terminal until you enter GB mode via
telnet.  It does map, oribt, macros, and encrypt if I remember.  As
well as a backscroll buffer and DOS shell.  Some of it was buggy, I
haven't messed with it for several months.

It is available from scam.berkely.edu is the /src/games/gb directory
as GBPC.ZIP.  (Instructions included there.)  E-mail me if you have
any problems.

Good luck,

Chris aka The Feepy One
