I wrote a really basic telnet program about a year ago.  It refuses all
telnet options except for line mode, which it tries to get but can live
without.  I believe all conforming telnet servers must interact with
even such a wimpy client.


However, the VT100 emulation is almost non-existent.  About all that
really works is changing text color.  So you can connect to muds and
turn on ansi mode, but you can't use vi or emacs on a Unix machine.
Guess you can see where my priorities were at the time :)

Of course, if anyone is looking for a project, then writing or
finding a nice VT100 emulator for squeak would be really nice....


In the meantime, though, if you don't need full VT100, or if you are
looking for a project to work on :) , check out:

It's mentioned on the Goodies page on the Swiki, as well.
