All I'm trying to do is make a webpage with the name of my site and a telnet link on that page. The answer that keeps coming up (I've been doing this most of the day is that I should add:
<a href=TelnetServlet?cmd=connect&host=ibivm&emulation=tn3270>IBI VM</a>
to the page. I added:
<a href=TelnetServlet?cmd=connect&host=bbs.notdos.com&emulation=tn3270>BBS</a> I tried every variation of my domain name (and even the IP, No joy. No matter what I try I get the message "No resource at this location." I'm sure it's simple, but I'm stumped. I tried the support people at Coffee Cup HTML Editor. They wanted to know what telnet was. I'd surely appreciate any help with this.

Thanks

Something like <a href="telnet://host">My BBS</a>, however that will only work if the browser/OS has a handler set up for telnet links, which it probably doesn't.

<a href=TelnetServlet?cmd=connect&host=ibivm&emulation=tn3270>IBI VM</a>

This looks like some circa 2002 Java applet stuff; don't bother.

You're better off putting some text on the page that says "you can telnet to my BBS at <host>:<port>". Anyone who knows what that means will figure it out from there.

If you really want it to be easy to connect from the web, set up ftelnet. And share the address for those who want to use their own client.
