(default) AltKeyMapping          REG_DWORD         0x00: Pressing CTRL+A                                         emulates the ALT key. This enables you to                                         send an ALT combination to programs running                                         on SFU Telnet servers.                                         0x19: Press CTRL+Z                                         emulates the ALT key.

DefaultDomain          REG_EXPAND_SZ     Uses the default Windows domain for                                          login authentication.  DefaultShell           REG_EXPAND_SZ     The full path of                                         the shell or command                                         interpreter that runs                                          when a Telnet user logs                                          on. The default is Windows NT                                          Command Prompt (Cmd.exe), but can                                         be set to a UNIX shell.LoginScript            REG_EXPAND_SZ     Sets the full path of a batch                                         file when a Telnet user logs on.                                          This is similar to a global                                          .cshrc file or profile in UNIX.MaxConnections         REG_DWORD         Applies only if you                                          purchase a license through                                         Services for UNIX. In Windows                                         2000, the Telnet Server service                                         has a hard coded limit of two                                         simultaneous connections. MaxFailedLogins        REG_DWORD         Determines the number of                                          unsuccessful logons before a user                                         is disconnected.

(default is 23)  TermCap                REG_EXPAND_SZ     Sets the full path to the                                          "terminal capabilities" file.                                          This file is similar to a UNIX                                          file, which is used to define                                          standard layouts and key mappings                                         for common emulation types (for                                          example, VT52, VT100, and ANSI).

The default value is                                         set to 10. The minimum value                                          is 2.
