Tools Infuriating Telnet Issue

Hi,

Recently I've been working a lot with telnet for various reasons (obsolete, I realise). However, I've run into an issue.

With most telnet clients, login is possible. However, with a few, typing is possible until I try to hit enter. For example, I try to type "admin" as the username and then press return and the only thing that appears is "^M" after the "admin".

Can anyone help?

Freddy.

Does a feature like "DOS mode" or "unix mode" exist in that client? Can you switch between the two, and does this have an effect?

Try entering username (admin) and then pressing CTRL+J instead of Return.

The reason for CTRL+J is it translates to ASCII 10 - a UNIX newline character. <Return> is CTRL+M ASCII 13

Putty has an option to enable or disable this feature.

Thanks!

Hi,
Ctrl + J worked great. Thanks to bartus11 and to jim mcnamara for the clarification.
