How do I connect to a Cisco Router? MS has Hyperterminal what does SuSe have?

I am enrolled at a Cisco school and need to go through labs remotely connected to their Cisco routers. With XP I use Hyperterminal to do this. This is their Telnet client.

How do I do this in SuSe?

I know there’s got to be a utility for this

please help

open a terminal and type

man telnet (and read)
info telnet (and read)

if you want secure, look at ssh (as long as the distant machine is
capable)

but, if you must have a GUI application, look for something here among
the replacement/alternative software for windows apps:

As mentioned Telnet, SSH when in GUI any of the terminal windows, ie, Gnome Terminal, Kconsole, Linux Terminal, X-Term, etc. Then telnet or ssh within the terminal sessions.


man telnet
man ssh

Ask your instructors and sysadmins for instructions on how to remotely connect to your class Cisco routers.
You might need to configure either dial-up, VPN or other Internet connection for telnet/ssh access and they will give you the correct connection information, like dialup numbers, url, IPv4 address, passwords, etc.

They use telnet? How daring of them. Then use telnet in linux.

And for rs232 you can use minicom.

Minicom and/or PuTTY, they both seem to work fine with my 2600.
Minicom seems to work better to me, but PuTTY has a GUI for setup.
