			telnet-0.10+vh 
-------------------------------------------------------------------

This package is a hacked version of the original netkit-telnet-0.10 
to support virtual host on the client side using the environment
TELNET_HOST.

Contents:
	This package contains the program telnet.

Usage: 
	Depending on the shell you're using:
        For bash/ksh:-
	------------
	bash# set TELNET_HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
        bash# export TELNET_HOST
        bash# telnet serverhostnme

	For tcsh/csh:-
	------------
	csh% setenv TELNET_HOST xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
	csh% telnet hostname
	
	--
	where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is any of your aliased hostnames you want 
        to use to be shown on the server side.
 
Installation:
	Do "./configure", or edit MCONFIG to set the configuration options. 
	Do "make".
	Do "make install" as root to install everything. Save backup copies 
	of important tools, or confirm the new ones work first. Etc. We 
	warned you.
	You may wish to apply the enclosed pty-hang patch to the
	kernel. I don't unfortunately know at the moment which
	kernel versions it has or will be integrated into. The
	following test will tell you if you need the patch: telnet
	to localhost, do "cat >/dev/null", and type 256 characters
	without any newlines. If you need the patch, telnetd will
	hang completely at this point. If it refuses to accept more
	input, but does not hang, you do not need the patch.

Disclaimer: 
	This package is a beta release. This means that it may not be
	stable. You have been warned. I am not liable for any damages
	caused by the use of this programme.
