A. Non-Windows clients that connect to a Windows Telnet server might work better if the Telnet server is in Stream mode rather than Console mode. To change your server to use Stream mode, go to the command prompt and type

tlntadmn config mode=stream

To check your current mode under Windows XP, type

tlntadmn

Windows will display the mode under Mode of Operation. For example,

Alt Key Mapped to 'CTRL+A' : YESIdle session timeout : 1 hoursMax connections : 2Telnet port : 23Max failed login attempts : 3End tasks on disconnect : NOMode of Operation : StreamAuthentication Mechanism : NTLM, PasswordDefault Domain : TRINITYState : Stopped
