[Ham-Mac] Re: Mac equivalent of WinTelnetX

Hi again,

Well, I am delighted to say that the Ham-Mac community has done it 
again. Within a day of my original post, David Anderson (GM4JJJ), 
author of iCluster (http://www.gm4jjj.co.uk/iCluster/iCluster.htm), 
responded with a beta version of his program that does exactly what I 
had in mind. I can connect to a packet cluster over Telnet with 
iCluster and redirect the spots to TRLog with nothing more than a null 
modem cable.

Kudos, David!
