Telnet

To access HoloNet, telnet to holonet.net, then follow the post-connection instructions below.

There are also numerous shareware telnet clients available. You can do a search on your favorite search engine to find one.

Also, some operating systems have a telnet application built-in or bundled. For MS Windows 95/98, go to the Start Menu, then Run, and in the field of the resulting dialog, type telnet holonet.net. (To run your telnet session, you'll need to have an open connection to the Internet first.)

Terminal Emulation

You can use any communications software, and there are several commercial or shareware programs available. Some are included in the communications modules in multifunction software or are bundled with your operating system. Most modems also come with communications software.

• Set your terminal program as follows:
  • Termimal emulation: vt100 or vt102
  • Communications settings:
    • 8 data bits
    • no parity
    • 1 stop-bit (8N1).
  • Notes: Do not use ANSI. Your communications software may refer to this information as Communications Settings, Connection Settings or Terminal Settings.

• Dial out to one of our nationwide access numbers:
