Change Port Telnet connects to

[ISG]

Using a telnet session from a dtterm, I can't find a way of changing the port to connect to. I need to connect to an alternate port on a router to read the config as the default telnet port is not available.

From the command line in other versions of Telnet on other Operating Systems, the command "telnet IP:PORT" eg telnet 192.168.0.2:1111 works. How can I do this on HP-UX 10.20?

Many thanks

Should be just

telnet hostname port

eg: telnet 10.1.1.1 25 will telnet to port 25

Hi,

telnet host port

with a web browser properly configured, with
Netscape for example you can still do it the way you want.. that is to say telnet://server:port in the url field
otherwise follow the suggestions above.

Later,

I agree with the above, but I use port 23 (telnet) not 25 (smtp), you'll end up doing e-mail stuff instead!!!

telnet 23
