Hello All,
I've been trying to find a IOS telnet client that I can switch to linemode in order to telnet to Varanny. Everything I've tried sends character mode only on my iphone (and have had no luck finding the magic).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Tim
Have you tried Terminus? Not 100% sure but I believe it should work.
Ok, had to try. It does not work 
Most of them do that: send each character as you type it.
Need to get the client out of character mode into line mode (where it sends the string when you hit return).
Either the iOS clients I’ve tried don’t support it or I’m getting too old and slow to find where to change it.
Try a MUD client. That's just telnet under the hood.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mudrammer-a-modern-mud-client/id597157072 looks
like it has the interface you need.
Also, you could try:
iSH for iOS - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ish-shell/id1436902243
with above you get an alpine linux (somewhat JIT based but suitably fast regardless).
then, install busybox-extras with:
apk update
apk add busybox-extras
This gives you the busybox version of telnet which I assume is very compatible with regular telnet. I am also fairly certain that it would default to line mode per telnet standards.
All this being said, I have not tested it but I can't see why it wouldn't work. iSH is also a good tool to have on iOS given it gives you access to a lot of other good linux tools (python, git, nmap, zsh, lynx, links, curl, wget, and on and on...)Good luck!
