has anyone ported lynx over to openwrt?

and is there a telnet client for openwrt?

I searched everywhere but cant find either of these...

thanks!

telnet client is in busybox, but it is not enabled in standard firmware.

there anyway to enable it without changing the firmware?

The openwrt I am needing to do this on is 5000 miles away -lol

thanks,
bob

No way. You have to recompile busybox. But you can do it on any machine and copy only resulting binary file (/bin/busybox) and create symlink on WRT (ln -s /bin/busybox /usr/bin/telnet) and you're done.

FedEx?

tosuja, your solution worked great. I didn't even reflash it. I downloaded stable, and went into the config file for busybox and enabled telnet. I built a new firmware. I realized that when you build it, it has all the bin files still. So I searched through, found busybox and wgeted it to my distant router. I was to much a puss to overwrite the original busybox, so I named it /usr/bin/busybox2 and did the ln -s /bin/busybox2 /usr/bin/telnet

works awesome!

thanks,
bob

thx in adv

I have W.R. RC3 and i have a telnet client installed.

BusyBox v1.00 (2005.09.14-15:55+0000) multi-call binary

I updated from RC2 and also did a ipkg upgrade and installed a few packages:
one of them is
busybox - 1.00-2 - Core utilities for embedded Linux systems
from the default packages source ( downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages )
I think the package is included in the FW image (?)

telnet is possible via the 'nc' command.

'nc ipnumber 23'  (ipnumber the address you want to connect to) will open a telnet session.
