Overview
The rxtelnet program starts an xterm window with a telnet to host host. From this window you will also be able to run X clients that will be able to connect securely to your X server. If port is given, that port will be used instead of the default.
If setting up the X forwarding failes, rxtelnet will still telnet in to the remote host, but without X forwarding.
The supported options are:
-
-l -
Log in on the remote host as user username.
-
-k -
Disables keep-alives.

-t -
Send telnet_args as arguments to
telnet. -
-x -

-w -

-
-b -

-
-n -
Do not start any terminal emulator.
-
-v -

Examples

You will get a new window with a
