I have dedicated DSL service from the phone company and am in the same
boat. I did some research into this and found that it is not possible to
telnet directly from TR-Log with either of our services... unless you are
creative.
If you use either K1TTT's program or DXTelnet, then it is possible. With
either program, you can reroute anything coming in from a telnet session
out to one of your com ports. So, if you had a second PC nearby, you could
use one of these programs to telnet to a cluster, then take a serial cable
and go out the COM port of your K1TTT/DXTelnet PC and into a COM port on
your TR-Log PC and voila... just tell TR-Log you have a TNC on that COM
port and it won't be the wiser!
I haven't gotten around to doing this yet, because I haven't found a cheapo
Windoze PC to put in the shack as a second PC for this purpose.
It's possible to do this from a single PC, by the way. But you still have
to tell the K1TTT/DXTelnet program to go out one COM Port, then take a
serial cable and loop it back to another of your COM Ports. Don't know
about you, but I certainly don't have TWO spare COM Ports on my TR-Log PC!!
Plus, I believe both K1TTT and DXTelnet are Windoze only programs, so
you'd have to run TR-Log in a Windoze window. I think a second el-cheapo
Windoze PC would be cleaner.
