Software to connect to Snorkel.


Snorkel can be accessed in more than one way. The most common way is for users to connect in via the Internet. However dialup access is also available.

Over the Internet you can connect using Telnet or Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH. SSH is the prefered connection method, as connections are encrypted. Telnet connections are in the clear and can thus be evesdropped upon. Please do not use telnet for general connections. We have provided SSH software here if you need it.

For dialup access, you need a terminal program. The Telnet/SSH client we have provided for Windows is also capable of talking to a modem and thus dialing in. Another option is to use HyperTerm which is included with Windows.


Under UNIX, telnet is a part of the system and can be used from the command prompt. Some UNIX systems don't have SSH included, however you can get SSH from www.openssh.org.

For SSH on other systems, check out www.freessh.org.

If you need help with the included software or client software not included here, or if you are simply having general problems with connecting to Snorkel, please contact us.
