In labs we use reverse telnet to access our equipment (as in “routers and switches”) directly into console. To make things a little bit easier for our students we created a web page with “telnet://” links pointing directly to each router/switch.
That should be enough to solve all those pesky little questions like “what was that address again ?”. And it is. At least when the computer used by our students is running Windows. But we do have a little problem because all our computers in the lab are running Ubuntu. And Firefox. And it appears that Firefox in Ubuntu doesn’t know how to handle “telnet://” links.
