You can access HYTELNET via Telnet session, local client or WWW.

The source files of Hytelnet system are available at ftp.usask.ca in the directory /pub/hytelnet.


Using HYTELNET


This is the Unix version of the Hytelnet system, but other versions are quite similar.

To start Hytelnet, type:

hytelnet <options>

where options are:

  • path location of the default database, if it is not stored in the same directory as the Hytelnet client.
  • filename displays the contents of this file, instead of its usual default start file.
  • secure disables external commands; no Telnet sessions can be started if this option is selected.
  • name disable use of Internet name; no Telnet sessions can be started if this option is selected.
  • number disable use of Internet number; Telnet sessions can be started quoting the Internet name, but not the number.
