Downloading and Installing Telnet

To use telnet with your internet browser, you need to do two things: first, you need to download and install a telnet client; and second, you need to tell your bowser where to find your telnet client.

The instructions on this page are for users of Windows 3.1 only. If you are a Mac user, you're on your own (but hey, Mac users don't need instructions, right?). Also, these instructions assume you are using a Netscape browser.

Downloading and Installing Telnet

The telnet client we recommend is Ewan. If you do not have Ewan installed on your system (and you should check, just in case) then you can download it here. Place the downloaded file, ewan105.exe, into a temporary directory. Execute the file by double clicking on it in File Manager (or by clicking on 'File', 'Run', then entering the filename). This will produce an expanded set of files, one of which is called setup.exe. Run setup by double clicking on it in File Manager. Ewan will then install itself on your hard drive.

Configuring Netscape for Telnet

In Netscape, click on 'Options', then 'Preferences'. Select 'Applications and Directories'. You will see an area titled 'Telnet Application'. Click on the 'Browse' button beside that window. Find the file ewan.exe in the directory Ewan was installed. Click on it to select this file. Click on 'OK'. This brings you back to the 'Applications and Directories' window. Click on 'OK' again. Click on 'Options' and then 'Save Options'.

Test your installation by clicking here. You should be able to access the MAUD now. Again, if you have any problems, please post your question to the MAUDL List Server.
