Thanks for your
help Marion. I tested what you said using Putty and the behaviour has changed. I
let Putty with its original setup up to the “^Ec;” sequence then I do what you
say. Now when I press the return key Conserver I will get a single “^@login:”
and it should be just “login:”. Then I type the logon name (in my case “admin”)
and hit enter again and I will get a “admin” reply followed by a new line
showing “^@login:” again and I can't login. Now I am sure that, for somehow,
Conserver does not behave well when we connect to the server using Telnet. The
first question I have is: Does anyone know any Telnet client that could be used
in a Windows environment?
By other hand,
it would be perfect if I let people login remotely to the Conserver box (lets
say using Putty over SSH that is perfect for security reasons) and then let this
user run the original Conserver console client. However, I am pretty dumb when
it comes to configure Linux. I don’t know how to configure it so the remote user
could not mess with the server… So, alternatively to my question above, does
anyone in this thread knows a “howto” for dummies for setting up this remote access without allowing a user to
mess with the server?
Reading the e-mail threads about Telnet I could
see that people does not understand why would someone use Telnet and Windows… I
am trying to assemble a network lab where my clients could come in and do tests
and configurations on my switches/routers for learning/testing proposes. Most of
these clients are Windows oriented people. However, Putty is widely used tool,
what would make my life very easy if I could use it as the remote client. Much
better than this would be securing my system so my clients could Telnet over
SSH, get a standard Linux console and use the original Conserver console client.
Thanks again!

I've used
putty in this mode to connect to an IOLAN Rack+ (reverse telnet).
To get rid
of the "double return" problem, after you've started the putty
connection,
right-click on the top of the putty window, select the
"Change Settings"
item, then "Telnet", then de-select the check-box
labelled "Return key sends
Telnet New Line instead of ^M". Can't help
you with the other telnet
clients.
Regards,
Marion
