Hi. I found a console mode windows 95 telnet client on www.windows95.com
I suggest going to that site, and looking in the telnet section which is under network utilities.
I have had no success in convincing packet drivers, etc to function under win95.
I did manage to convince a packet driver to load, but couldn't use any dos-based networking software.
Personally, I prefer to telnet from within windows using crt. It works very well with speech and supports zmodem uploads and downloads.
If you happen to convince a packet driver to function under win95, I would dearly love to know about it.
BTW kermit (available from kermit.cc.columbia.edu) is a much better dos telnet
client than ncsa telnet, which I found to be difficult with speech, and generally network unfriendly.
Hope some of this helps.
Aaron
