Hyperlink Help

[Ken Watson]

Can anyone tell me how to create a hyperlink that calls
up a Telnet session? I am trying to create a map of our
network using frontpage and in that map I will have
diagrams of servers and routers. I would like to click
on the router icon and have a telnet session with that
router open up. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Ken,

I think this is what you need:
<a href="telnet://destination">Telnet</a>

Using this you'll still have to enter username and password. There may be a
method you can use to pass those automatically, but I'm one of those
paranoid types who don't like to leave credential lying about in plain text.

Create a Hyperlink to the IP address of the router or
server eg.(http://123.168.1.40)- then in FrontPage go to
the HTML tab and edit the link by removing the "HTTP" and
replacing it with "telnet" - it will look like
this "telnet://123.168.1.40"> then select the Preview tab
and click on the link and it should start your telnet
session - at least mine did. Andrea
