Q4010 How do I setup AirMail to use a Telnet (Internet Access) connection?

A4010 (This Telnet information may also be found in the Global Catalog under WL2K_Help).

AirMail Telnet Client setup
Go to AirMail menu item: "Tools>Options>Modules" and check the Telnet Option. If you wish you can also set the module to initialize when bringing up AirMail by also checking "autostart." However, if you wish to start the module manually, then go to menu item: Module>Telnet client."

The setup for accessing the CMS (as routed by logic to one of the 5 locations) is:

WL2K (Remote Call Sign; not case sensitive)
server.winlink.org (Remote Host; not case sensitive)
8772 (TCP Port Outbound)
30 (Timeout in seconds)
CMSTelnet (Password; not case sensitive)

You may also configure Telnet to go go a specific CMS location. Remote Call Sign and Remote Host information (case insensitive) for the specific CMS Sites are:

WL2KS SanDiego.winlink.org (San Diego)
WL2KH Halifax.winlink.org (Halifax)
WL2KP Perth.winlink.org (Perth)
WL2KW Washington.winlink.org (Washington)
WL2KV Wien.winlink.org (Wien [Vienna])

All of the active Common Message Servers are continually updating each other with new information.
