Dave's Telnet

Dave's Telnet is a small Windows application designed to help you connect to a remote machine using the Telnet protocol. The utility is developed as a replacement for the standard Windows Telnet program.

It offers support for emulation for linux/xterm/vt100/vt220/vt320/vt440, configurable function key sequences and answerback messages, as well as local printing.

There’s no installation process, you only need to open the executable file in order to run the application. Plus, you can copy it on any USB flash drive and carry it with you.

The tools sports a user-friendly environment where you can connect to UNIX-like servers by providing information about the host, port, protocol, user, server charset and terminal. You can enable or disable the keypad application mode and activate the map editing keypad.

Dave's Telnet gives you the possibility to set up proxy settings, disconnect the Telnet connection upon exit, copy and paste data, as well as create a list with your favorite connection profiles. You can manage the most frequently accessed Telnet sites by modifying or deleting the connection profiles, and make file associations (TS file format).

The application lets you alter the terminal font in terms of font, size and charset, change the cursor style (block, underline or vertical line), manually define the terminal by configuring special and function keys, start or stop the logging process, log session data and protocol, as well as print the information.

In conclusion, Dave's Telnet comes with essential features for helping you work with Telnet terminal connections. It’s not over-featured so less experienced users can easily configure its functions.
