OS X - Telnet client & Midnight Commander

Recommended Posts

Any Snow Leopard users out there who can suggest a telnet client so that I can use MC in telnet sessions? 

 

MC works great in putty/Windows and gnome-terminal/Ubuntu but it's pretty much useless from Terminal/OSX.  I'm currently using an evaluation version of ZOC and it's been working great; I can use arrow keys and the mouse to navigate around MC.  Once the evaluation runs out, I'd like to fall back on something else, hopefully something that's free.

 

Any suggestions?  It's entirely possible that there's a setting in Terminal that enables the use of arrow keys/mouse/etc but I just don't know what it could be.

if you have x11 installed you can use the terminal app that is included with it.  I use it for mc stuff and it works fine.  I did notice that OS X terminal does not seem to play nice with OSX but have not really looked into it enough.  There should be a way to change it so it works.

I use terminal app and mc without problems. The mouse doesn't work, but otherwise tab, arrows, Fn keys work. Terminal is setup for xterm emulation.

Well holy crap, Roland.  You're officially my hero of the day.  I changed the emulation from xterm-color to xterm and mc pulls up just fine!  I still can't use the mouse but that's not even important.  Though it gets dicey when using F-keys mapped to OSX functions.  Oh well, at least I can still highlight using ^t and copy/move.  Thanks for the inspiration.
