Notes on Specific Telnet Clients
Telnet and terminal clients will have different behaviors in some situations. This section states some of the
known anomalies.
Windows Client Programs
Anomalies occur when using a Windows™ client if you are not typing standard ASCII characters (i.e. using
the keypad and the ALT key to enter decimal codes). Most programs will allow you to enter specific decimal
codes by holding ALT and using keypad numbers.
For example, hold ALT, hit the keypad 1, then hit keypad 0, then release ALT. The standard line feed code is
entered (decimal 10). Windows will perform an ANSI to OEM conversion on some codes entered this way
because of the way Windows handles languages and code pages.
The following codes are known to be altered, but others may be affected depending on the computer's setup.
Characters 15, 21, 22, and any characters above 127.
This affects both Windows Telnet and Terminal programs.
