I'll keep an eye on this, too...
I'm probably missing something here, but how do you use Telnet on a dumb terminal? I guess telnet is a connection-independent service, but doesn't it have to have a host program and a client program?

here is the low down
To use a dumb term u have to use the server to boot in to it using the dumb terminal telnet disk i will be posting soon. this disk supports ssh and tftp. using this program and a telnet server that supports home directorys you can serve as many clients as your network can support. The disk is 1 meg at or around. I am using windows 2000 server telnet server but i am also using others for complete independance. I have set up the server to serve the main inventory files in one directory and each client has a directory for the main pos files. the office machine logs in to the main pos directory. Guide almost finished.

Are you actually talking about a dumb terminal? I mean a real green screen VT100, Wyse 60 or similar? It sounds to me like what you are referring to is more of a thin client application.
We've got a couple of those that connect to a terminal server on our one and only W2K box.
If it's a dumb terminal, it's just going to hook up by a standard serial connection, not lan protocols, no O/S, no local program or data...

I have some serial to lan cables i am using for testing. They work. you can use the program over a thin client. when i get the manual out u will be able to judge better if it is what you need.

Here is the details
on a windows 2000 server. The telnet username is set to run "Username".bat at login. This file is as follows:
-----Start file-----
@echo off
Echo "Now Mounting POS drive"
net use P: \\"servername"\"username"
echo "Now mounting global directory"
net user s: \\"servername"\global
p:\pos.exe
-----end file-----
There are many telnet boot clients found on the internet. Do a search on google for the right one for you. I use a linux boot client at the moment. You can also use free windows clients for telnet. Do not use the microsoft telnet client. Bad things happen. using the linux image i have set the windows box to send them to the thin terms at connection. do a search on windows technet for the how to. If you need help reply to this and i will try and assist you.

windows NT follow-up
it is posiable to use a windows NT server to do this. However it will de alittle more difficult from what my research has told me. I personally dont use NT but i am told it does have a telnet server and if it doent there are many free ones online.
