Don't be confused by the term 'emulator' all terminals you are comparing it to (like Linux terminals) are all terminal emulators. Technically, a 'terminal' is a physical device, like a Wyse 60 or Televideo 955 terminal, which contained no intelligence for processing data, it just displayed the information as a 'terminal' to the mainframe. Discussion in 'UK Macs' started by D.M. Procida, Apr 13, 2004. I have a router which needs me to get into it via the serial port.

. How do I create a desktop shortcut to connect automatically (e.g., via Telnet)?. In order to create a desktop shortcut:. Use 'My Computer' or 'Explorer' to view the PowerTerm Directory.
Look for the PowerTerm executable, 'ptw32.exe'. Right-click on this item and choose `Create Shortcut`. A new icon will appear. (You may rename this if you like). Drag the new icon onto the Desktop. Right-click the icon and choose 'Properties'. Select the `Shortcut` tab and then modify the `Target` line.
Ptw32.exe At the end of this line, simply add `telnet.psl’ followed by the host you want to telnet to: example. Ptw32.exe telnet.psl myhost where myhost is the name or IP address of the host system you are trying to connect to Important Note: If you see quote marks around the text on the target line, place the new words OUTSIDE of the quotes, so you will have a target such as 'C: Program Files PTW32 ptw32.exe' telnet.psl myhost. How do I configure PowerTerm to use private SSH keys to connect to the host?. Please follow the steps below:.
Use an application like the 'SSH-keygen' in order to generate a pair of keys: private key and public key. Add the content of the new public key to the 'authorized keys' file on the host. In PowerTerm`s 'Connect' window: set the 'security type' to 'SSH' and click 'Details'. Set 'Private key file for authentication' to the exact location of the private key generated in step #1. The private key does not have to be.epk file.
