Documentation for the telnet command in /trans/admincmds/telnet.c.

Command

USAGE: telnet

Invokes the mud’s telnet client for you.

Admin only The prompt will change to #, meaning you’re in telnet mode. Any input not directly to the telnet program will go to your average shell instead.

Text received from a telnet session will start with the tilde ( ‘~’ ).

Telnet understands the following commands:

exit – quit telnet

open [address|mudname] – opens a new telnet session. | mudname can be any mud name or a unique part | of a mud name based on the muds you can see | by typing: “mudlist”. | Right now if you use an address, it must be | an ip number, and not an ip name. | If you have more than one session open, | you’ll only be interacting with the current | session.

jobs – shows what sessions you have open.

goto [job#] – changes your active session to the given number | (if you have more than one session)

tog – toggles whether or not your regular input should go to the active | session or to the mud you’re on. By default it goes to the mud | you’re on.

send <str> – send input to the active session. You don’t need to do this | if you’ve done /tog once, you can just type the input and | it goes.

close – closes the currently active session.

hide – You don’t see any of the text from remote telnet connections if | you use this. /hide again to bring the text back.

help – This document.

?

! as the first character always sends your input to your command shell instead of a telnet session. To send a string to a telnet session that starts with a !, use /send !string.

N.B. Some people have a hard time using / with tinyfugue. If you need to change the control character, set the telnet_char environment variable.

EG:

set telnet_char %
