    Please keep us updated if you get any telnetd working well enough to be usable under MOS. I've spent quite some time getting a remote shell working with AmigaOS3.1 and found VCON to be the best of the very crappy telnetd-options available. I've had to hack together various solutions to get the keyboard to work well (backspace was a problem, and the arrows and even enter in some cases like vim). It worked better if I set my terminal to ISO-8859-1 rather then UTF-8.

    I would love to be able to access my MorphOS machine in the same way but when I did some testing I couldn't get VCON to work at all under MOS. I did play around with launching ksh from inetd but there where too many problems for me to get it usable.

    And yeah, having telnet open on a machine connected directly to the internet is probably a very bad idea in this day and age, I only have it accessible on my local LAN so I have to SSH another machine first and then connect to it.
