Hiya all,
sorry to repost a simular question again. At current I can
connect to the internet from home using my modem with procomm plus. This
allows me to use color. :) If I use the computers out at my University I
can only use telbin to connect, which only allows vt100 terminal
emulation. What I'd like to do is either get a cool prog which I can use
in dos which allows ansi emulation, or use procomm on this computer. The
computers at my Uni are connected to the account via a network so I can't
use the modem option on procomm. Any advice as what I can do would be
greatly appreciated. :)
Fionn
PS Thanks for all the advice everyone has given so far. :)
Below is the config file for telbin, so you can see how I'm connected.
