TELPROXY.MSG

Name

TELPROXY.MSG -- Telnet Proxy Logon Message File (Optional).

Description

This optional file is only required if you are using the Telnet Proxy feature. It contains text which is sent to the user upon uplink connection to the proxy.

If the file is NOT present, the following default text is displayed:

	Use: Tel[net] <ipaddr> [port] 
	Ready
	>

If the TELPROXY.MSG file is present, its contents are sent to the user in place of the default text. Therefore you may customise the logon text to suit your clientele.

Example

This is an example of what the TELPROXY.MSG file might contain:

--------------------- example starts --------------

To connect to another system, enter "TEL[net] <ipaddr> [port]"

e.g. Tel 44.131.91.2 7777

Type HELP for any other help

---------------------- example ends -----------------

Notes

By default, the telnet proxy listens on TCP port 2323. This may be reassigned or disabled using the TELPROXYPORT directive in XROUTER.CFG.

Files

If present, TELPROXY.MSG must be located in the same directory as the XRPi executable.

The associated TELPROXY.ACL file controls which destinations are available to users, based on their source IP addresses.
