keep security how? from what? doing what?
huh?

Linux and forcecommand, but in windows, the telnet command isn't very well supported. Is there any alternative?

telnet is a protocol.

from ssh is ezstream, and there is a windows app for that, I believe.

okay internet says ezstream is a command line source client for icecast.

and your subject line says
" Alternative Win32 Telnet Client? "

just about everything is wrong with your posting.
you said you dont want to use telnet anymore right?

anyways, install a ssh server and login that way.

I'm not quite sure I understand why you are doing SSH in an internal
network, but Mtelnet is my favorite - one executable... others like using Syncterm, Net runner etc.

also your bbs tagline says you support ssh

if you want security you could run a synchronet bbs and have ssh only access. then it could forward to your local telnet port on your elebbs bbs.

it would just take minutes to set that up.

No! That was just conversational additive. I don't need that, I already
know it exists. I'm trying to switch everything from linux to windows and
I'm running ezstream under linux, instead of windows. That's all. I don't need help with that.

also your bbs tagline says you support ssh
https://i.imgur.com/wRFM6wX.png

I have ssh from a linux machine, which then internally telnets to the bbs.
It is secure, because it's within my internal network. I'm trying to do this from within windows, not linux.

if you want security you could run a synchronet bbs and have ssh only access. then it could forward to your local telnet port on your elebbs bbs.

No simpler than what I'm already doing.

Linux. Because we can, we must... offering something really only understood by another insufferable Linux Sysop. These are people who I guarantee they have never ran a board before, never had thousands of users or multiline systems
in the 90's. But they're here now, they're Linux, and they know it all.

No user calling a board prefers or even tries connecting via SSH. Only the insufferable Linux Sysop prefers this. And no, they are not paranoid users.
Far from it... That "user" has a level of expectation and mannerism an average caller does not have.

I wouldn't want such a user on my board anyway as right off the bat he feels

yeah it's pretty rare but it does happen. It's usually when a semi tech savy who doesn't know much about bbses is invited onto a bbs. those are the guys that ask why no ssh access.

sysops then provide that type of encrypted access.
well i had a blind guy, just one blind guy and i created an entire menu
set and color scheme for him. i guess it depends on how user friendly you want to be.

i know t1ny had a secure connection, maybe it was via netserial? i'm not sure if he did it just to do it or if it was from requests.

aaaaand linux generally runs servers well, and bbses are now servers. so that's probably why these guys start out using linux with their bbs.

i prefer a dos or windows environment.

And I would be politely asking them why SSH access.

I'm not jumping through hoops to provide a false sense of security which is what SSH is on a board. I see now on another Net that the amusing topic has morphed into now providing users an end-to-end encrypted BBS session.

So... I'm expected to provide an encrypted protocol and now an encrypted session I cannot even see at the console. Get real, whose system is it anyway?

The person that wants SSH on a board is the same person who happily pays for his groceries with an Rfid debit card. He cares only for the kewl-factor...

aaaaand linux generally runs servers well, and bbses are now servers. so

Not all Linux Sysops are arrogant. But some are and those are the ones who conjure up this type of sysadmin silliness. Because they can, they must.

Over time it all because noise.... unoriginal noise conjured up at least
once a year or so. When nobody takes the bait, that Sysop vanishes.

Honestly I have very little in my life other than my BBS. It gives me something to do, when otherwise I would have nothing. Even for users I don't have, I would go that extra mile. Like adding email or a web interface or my own proxy (when the ftelnet proxy wouldn't work). It gives me something to

Honestly I have very little in my life other than my BBS. It gives me something to do, when otherwise I would have nothing. Even for users I don't have, I would go that extra mile. Like adding email or a web interface or my own proxy (when the ftelnet proxy wouldn't work). It gives me something to
do, even though it's not for me.

are you mobile? i suggest you go and 'server others', through a church or programs. it's rewarding and keeps you busy.

That's what I've been looking for, but have been unable to find such a beast for Win32. I can do that flawlessly under Linux, but not Windows. I'm looking for something lean; not having to install yet another BBS software. I'm already running a session of mystic for MRC support.

you're going to have to run another program. you dont want to 'install' another bbs software. that's holding you back.

you'll find something to use if you look.
see if netserial does it. i havent used it in years, though.

anyways, open up your mind.

Thanks. Linux does it so easily... I was just hoping there was a windows command line telnet client that would handle ansi well; that's all I need.
It's working now, I won't mess with it much further.

Surprisingly you're note alone. I absolute adored Windows Phone when I used it heavily 10 years ago. Eventually did go iPhone myself after brief stints with Android, but if Windows Phone had grown (and the phone build quality from Nokia was a little better, had 2 for 2 on power button failures) I'd still be using it I'm sure.

the Windows 10 GUI why it didn't go over more then it did!

I'm not quite sure I understand why you are doing SSH in an internal network, but Mtelnet is my favorite - one executable... others like using Syncterm, Net runner etc.

Captain paranoia speaking: with so much IoT crap running in homes right now, it is often easier to ensure your chinesse light bulbs don't spy on you by using encrypted tunnels within your LAN than by any other method (say, static ARP over a wired switched network).

When I was younger I had my LAN computers talk to each other over IPSEC. I set it up only for fun, but it worked quite well.

No user calling a board prefers or even tries connecting via SSH. Only the insufferable Linux Sysop prefers this. And no, they are not paranoid users. Far from it... That "user" has a level of expectation and mannerism an avera caller does not have.

I am not so sure.

If you are connecting a board over Tor, SSH is much safer to torify (and less hackish). I often connect to boards over SSH myself.

I prefer SSH also simply for the privacy aspect. While in the hospital, I
am using free wiFi provided by the US federal government and cannot use a
VPN (they have that blocked, naturally). I suppose I could use my phone's
WiFi hotspot if I am worried about it but still, SSH would be nice to have.

Had I thought about it, I could have set up SSH on a Linux box on my LAN and then telneted to the BBS from within it but at the time, I had to get to the
ER ASAP.

My point was that it takes a special kind of person to call into a board in 2024; more special if that person cares to remember a custom telnet port.

But its a hilarious kind of "special" to have a user demanding SSH, while oblivious to how a Sysop can watch everything at the console, a user who
just calls once only and does nothing different than the telnet user.

Sad fact is that in a regular home today, the Captain Paranoias of the world must share their networks with people who purchases all sort of useless IoT crap.

I tend to place all the suspicious stuff in their own network segments or LANs. I even have two wireless networks at home: one for regular clients and one for suspicious clients. THe suspicious clients don't even get access to the Internet.

i have some device i'm trying to hunt down that can be controlled by
the switch app on my phone. it's some led light. maybe it's at the neighbor's but i think the first way it calls out is bluetooth and then i connect and pair it with my wifi to control it.

Say you have a network printer you want to connect to your LAN over wifi, so people can sent print jobs to it from their computers, but the manufacturer is known for bullshit firmware upgrades which happen automatically over the Internet. If you connect it to its own Network behind a firewall that denies WLAN access to it, you will be able to use the printer withoutn risking it calling home.

Same idea applies to NAS appliances, power inverters and other cheap chinesse junk. You may need to connect to them from your computer, but you surely don't need them to connect over the Internet.

At one of my last gigs, we had something called "follow me" printing.
You'd use your security badge to badge into any printer and the print
job would show up there. I managed a dozen offices around the country
(and 5 in the local area), being able to print with just a badge from

Say you have a network printer you want to connect to your LAN over
wifi, so people can sent print jobs to it from their computers, but the manufacturer is known for bullshit firmware upgrades which happen automatically over the Internet.

*cough*HP*cough*

And now, they're automatically pushing the HP Smart app with Windows
updates! I don't have an HP printer in my environment, the last printer
I did was an HP inkjet 500, which is still running somewhere to this
day. When they were Hewlett-Packard, and built printers like tanks.

At one of my last gigs, we had something called "follow me" printing.
You'd use your security badge to badge into any printer and the print
job would show up there. I managed a dozen offices around the country
(and 5 in the local area), being able to print with just a badge from anywhere was pretty damn cool.

Yes I've worked in a place like that as well. Pretty sure they were Xerox's.

I had a DeskJet 500 and I regret getting rid of it. Built like a tank and
very reliable.

They got a new cd out. I guess it's a bunch of artists singing their songs. Called "Twice in a life time" I think.

I say the same thing now about Pantum printers. A little foreign company that built a VERY reliable laser printer with good drivers.

Not like that stupid Xerox Workcenter 6027 which was the biggest pile of crap ever produced by a world-renowned company. What an unbelievable pile of
garbage which broke down conveniently after its warranty.
