UPDATES ON4KST's chat telnet client (V 1.5)
This is a simple telnet client specially developed for accessing
the chats of ON4KST when you can't (or don't want) to use the WEB
interface. I made this software for my own use because in my radio
QTH by the countryside I only can access the Internet using the
GPRS mobile phone. The cost of this service (at least in Spain)
depends on the number of bytes sent/received, so using the WEB
interface was simply too expensive. On the other hand, standard
telnet clients did not offer the functionalities and formatting
options I wanted. Read more and download at:
