How can I telnet when I dont have specific access to a telnet client

I was originally looking for a FREE Java applet that will turn my browser
into a telnet client. I found "The Java Telnet Applet (JTA)"
http://www.first.fraunhofer.de/persons/leo/java/Telnet/ , but this only
allows telnet connections with the server hosting the web site and serving
the Java applet (I dont want to get into relaying). Apparently this is not a
limitation of this specific program, but a 'feature' of Java applets in
general.

I would like to connect to my web site (hosted by an ISP), goto a specific
web page, and be able to telnet into my office server. I know that I can use
the telnet program in Windows, but I would like be able to connect from an
internet cafe or other public terminal when the need arises.

Is there an ActiveX component or something else I can serve from my ISP that
would allow me telnet access to another server?

TIA

 

Think you would need to instaqll the telnet progran on the cafes pc the
config it.
Don't think they would kile that
Don't know enough about jave but never heard of a program like you want

 

A lot of internet cafes don't restrict access to telnet. If they have
hampered access to the command prompt you should be able to get to it easy
enough. Try the "Hyperterminal" help in Windows XP, which a:lets you make
telnet connections, and even better b:gives you access to a command prompt.

Obviously, if you're unlucky you'll get a cafe where they have locked it
down properly, but I haven't found one yet.

I would be interested if you do find one.

 

You can just go for the putty tel, wich is a little telnet client that
comes down ready to use, it does not have to be installed or anything.
Just download that little .exe and you are going

If you have the source you could wrap the applet in a main program of
it's
own and you could then use it - but that would defeat the purpose of using
your browser as a telnet client. :-/ You could go through the pain of
rewriting the
security manager for your browser - but I don't know how to do that, plus if
other people wanted to use it they would have to download this new security
manager you have written. I do not know if it would be possible to turn the
safety devices off for Java in the browser.
