This is the README.TXT file for Mocha W32 Telnet
Mocha W32 Telnet is an Windows 95/98/2000/NT/XP application.
It makes it possible to connect to a host via TCP/IP with the
Telnet or SSH1 protocol and emulate a VT220 terminal.
SSH1 is a function to log into another computer over a network.
Mocha W32 Telnet supports some of the functionality in SSH1,
which makes it possible to encrypt User ID, Password and data.
SSH2 is next generation of SSH. It gives better security compared
with SSH1. Mocha Telnet supports only the Password Authentication
methode.
Mocha W32 Telnet does not support redirection of ports and the
RSA-authenticates.
RSA-authenticates are used in places where high security is needed.
With RSA- authenticates the Client can validate it has a session with
the real UNIX host, and it can prevent Trojan horses (by routing or
DNS spoofing). As to keep Mocha W32 Telnet small and simple to use,
we have selected not to support this security option. We believe the
security functionality most users wants, are encrypted passwords and
user data.
Redirection of ports, means a way to allow other programs, as an example
a mail client , to use the secure session mocha w32 telnet creates to
the UNIX host.
