telnetrc(4)
NAME
  telnetrc, .telnetrc - Specifies setup commands for a telnet session

SYNOPSIS
  $HOME/.telnetrc

DESCRIPTION
  The .telnetrc file contains the setup information for a telnet session.  It
  is a hidden file in your home directory and must be readable by the user
  logging in.

  The file can consist of multiple entries for each remote host to which a
  user can connect.  A remote host entry consists of multiple lines.  The
  first line is the name of a remote host. The subsequent lines must begin
  with blank spaces, and contain telnet subcommands.  These subcommands are
  processed as though they were typed in manually. Lines beginning with a
  number sign (#) are comment lines.  See telnet(1) for a complete list of
  telnet subcommands.

  To specify subcommands that apply to all systems, create an entry, using
  the word "DEFAULT" as the system name, and specify the telnet subcommands
  in the subsequent lines.

EXAMPLES
  The following shows a sample .telnetrc file:

       # Beginning of telnetrc file
       # Default subcommands that apply to all systems
       DEFAULT
	  environ undefine USER
       # First system entry
       system1
	  set echo
	  toggle crlf
       # Second system entry
       system2
	  set echo
	  mode line
	  toggle crlf
