Two entities communicate directly. One is the telnet daemon on the
linux host. The other is the telnet client in the Oberon subsystem.
My point is that the use of telnet is completely redundant here
(assuming I’ve guessed the goal correctly). Contrast with any terminal emulator (for example, xterm), which runs the shell (or other command) directly.
Demonstating in your system is a small execise. Install LinuxA2 and
try it. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/A2
I’m not really interested in doing that.
If you see a way to make the link more direct, please let me know or
edit the wiki.
The functions in
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/openpty.3.html
should be sufficient, if your Oberon environment can call them.
