[WT-support] WT-DX-Telnet // RBN ?

Pete,

It looks like your reply did not make it to the Win-Test support reflector,
because you need to be a subscriber.  To subscribe, please fill out the
form here <http://lists.f5mzn.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support>.  You

Thanks for fixing the script, but the issue we have now with
telnet.reversebeacon.net 7000 is that we cannot connect to it with Win-Test
any more.  Win-Test supplies a program called wtDxTelnet that is like the
telnet program.  It used to work fine to connect to this node, but now it
does not.  The new server software seems to require CR/LF sequence after
every command.  Before it would work OK with just LF.  So, we get prompted
to login, enter a callsign, press Enter, and nothing happens.  You can see
for yourself by downloading the free program:

http://download.win-test.com/wtDxTelnet/bin/wtDxTelnet-3.1.exe


If I use a command line telnet program from Windows, it works fine.  We
think that's because the command line program adds CR/LF after every
command, but wtDxTelnet only adds LF, which doesn't work any more, because
something changed at the server.

For reference, here's how to enable the telnet command line client on
Windows 7:
