Has anyone been able to install this? It's got what I think might be a passable telnet commandline client. I can't install it though, I get fatal errors when running make. It took long enough to get cygwin installed with
gcc and make to get that far...

Looks like you're missing a library somewhere.

I'm using the source provided. Has anyone successfully compiled inetutils?

Just because you have the source doesn't mean you have all the dependencies installed.

I was able to install inetutils-tools and inetutils-telnet without any
issues on my Devuan Linux laptop.

Ok, thanks! I didn't see any listed dependencies and only tried to install
it in cygwin under Windows 10 64 Bit Pro.

I have never tried to use cygwin before but I have been told it can be difficult to work with at times. Good luck with it.

it's not really difficult but it's like a big hack.
i'd rather crack open a linux vm.
if he tried to install it on cygwin under windows that's probably the problem right there. I havent used it in a few years but it's just good for the basics last time i saw it.

I support a production environment in AWS, mostly running python
scripts on NGINX. Our dev folks use a mixture of Ubuntu boxes running
in a local test environment on VMWare in the office.

We used to use cygwin as a local environment, but I started moving
people to WSL, and I think everyone's using WSL now - except for the
one guy running the Slack to IRC gateway who still uses cygwin.

WSL sounds like an interesting thing. Reminds me of the
versatility of Win/OS2.

Isn't Slack based on IRC? I know Twitch.tv's chat is IRC-based
(evidently you can telnet to it but I've not tried).

I'm trying out MCEdit for my editor in Multimail and it seems to work
nicely so far.

turns out that Windows 2000 ran OS/2 console apps just fine!

That stopped with XP. :(

That's crazy to know.

I'm a QEDIT fan. I found a copy of TSE, the Semware Editor, for Win32. It's the nicest Windows console editor I've found.

yedit (edit.com clone) and kinestics editor aka kit are good

http://www.malsmith.net/edit/

kit editor's website is gone but i asked the author to put it up
on his current site
https://i.imgur.com/mgydGiI.png

i'll be making a mirror once i find the official archive.

the kit editor made this site for me when i asked about his files. https://files.pismo.net/kit/
