When you quit telnet.exe it clears the window and you can't see the
telnet session lines. I want to quit from telnet and have the telnet
session lines remain on the screen. I use "telnet -l logfile" but just
having the session lines stay on the screen would be easier.

I don't own ZOC and I don't know what other telnet clients are
available. Mostly I just use telnet for troubleshooting, especially
SMTP and POP3 problems.

"telnet -?" doesn't show any obvious option. There's a "-t
terminaltype" but I don't think the emulated terminal will change
telnet's screen display.

I suppose I should just buy ZOC.
