I am trying to connect to a network camera that is on its own IP address for the network. The camera can be accessed through hyper terminal while on a windows machine. However, since I also want to connect to it from a laptop that is running Linux (Fedora 6) I need to find a program that will do it. I’m looking for something GUI based or atleast with a GUI installer. Any ideas?

Use the command-line telnet program. Open a shell session and type “telnet \<IP address\> \<port\>”
