tlug: palm pilot and telnet

["fernando@example.com" <fernando@example.com>]

I am using my palm pilot with telnet applications ...
TG TELNET
VT ONLINE

BOTH ARE REALLY cool you can set up macros that will handle the  login and set
your terminal  for the  size of  your pilot
i usually use this macros.

loginname \r
password \r
stty rows 15 cols 64

then you can run elm or pine .....screen is kind of messy but able to manage.....

i made an executable file chmod +x .pilot in my    unix shell..............and
then in my pilot i just make a macro
source .pilot\r

and it will  set up my terminal  screen,,,,........(actually i got this info
from the autor of TG TELNET) ...............

Also you can run lynx .......but it will screw  up your screen ........i use palm
scape (created by a japanese fellow)...is free and  is a cool browser for the
pilot.........

TG postman is a cool mail program is free too.!!! you can even set up the option
to see headers...only ...and check for the size of the message before downloading
.......cool is you got  an attachment file.....

VT online is cool too and support macros too ....... but   crash  my pilot  2
times........?????!!~~@@????

--------------only  one  downside :   when you switch  screen ....and you come
back to your telnt app..will not  refresh the screen........-------------<<<<<<<
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


SEE YA ...IN THE NEXT MEETING OF TLUG...!................I have a short-nagai
..kana ----> trip  to innaka japan...........i will go back to tokyo .....before
the tlug meeting
