I think I know what you want, something which does telnet "pretty" rather than just telnet, allows you to setup the system using a gui tool rather than environment variables and so on. The closest i've found in linux is gnome-telnet, which unfortunately doesn't seem to be in suse8. you can download it from http://www.cyest.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=4 as an rpm though, you will need to install it with rpm -ivh --nodeps gnome-telnet*.rpm because one of the required packages is named differently in suse (itll still work, as long as you have ssh installed). it supports telnet and ssh, which is the preffered system now (and again your linux server will support it "out of the box".

I'm not sure what you want to do. All Linux systems come with telnet clients as well as tools like ssh for secure logins. Also, Linux has a complete set of X servers et. all so you can run X applications on the server with the display on your desktop.

Dear SuSE Wizards,
I have sold an application for years that has a *nix backend but traditionally terminals or PC with terminal emulators running Telnet clients at the front end. What do I use if I want to run Linux at the Desktop with Linux at the Server?
Basically, I think I'm looking for a Telnet Client like what is offered by the James River Group but not for windoze but for Linux.
Any ideas? Is there something already in there that does a nice job? (I am familiar with Putty and it is decent, but I'm looking for a few more bells and whistles so that it might even be GUI.
TIA
