I am interested to set up a reverse telnet
session from a Unix system behind a firewall to a telnet window on my home Macintosh.
I understand that the Unix system must initiate the telnet session from inside the firewall, and that the Macintosh must have a telnet program willing to accept the initiation. (Basically, the Unix system acts like an X client and the Macintosh like an X server, but the protocol is telnet.)

Anyone know of such a telnet program for the Macintosh? The obvious ones (NCSA, Nifty, etc.) don't seem to have this ability.

Thanks
A

You dont want 'reverse telnet' you want a telnet daemon (telnetd) however a telnet d make very little sense in the classic macos, since ther are no text based utils.. however stairways.com has a telnet daemon that runs applescripts
