What I'd like to do is provide a link on an intranet web page that will launch a telnet session and pass context information to a shell script that will take the user to a specific "green screen."
This "pseudolink" might help show what I'm looking for:
<a href="telnet://<user>:<password>@<host>?showdetail%20123">detail for 123</a>
Part of this solution might be a suggested telnet client that could interact with browsers (perhaps through JavaScript) to accomplish this. Bonus points for obfuscating the credentials (but this is envisioned at this point to be a "read only" login).
Thanks!
