I have just started using Host presenter for telnet applications.
We run a Novell LAN and I'm using Netscape 1.2 . It seems to work
fine. In the host presenter set-up I set up a session for the
internet public library moo and saved it as a session profile.
I left pretty much everything as default settings, I just
filled in the remote host name and the port number and off it went.
Actually not quite that smoothly. I had struggled for two days before
that only to find out that remote host I was trying to connect to had
been off-line. Having set it up you can connect without using Netscape
- just load your profile in host presenter and open the session. It does
however also work from Netscape, but you have to point it to the correct
profile that you have set up.
