NAME
       mactelnet - A tool for telneting	via MAC	addresses

SYNOPSIS
       mactelnet [options] <MAC-Address|hostname>

DESCRIPTION
       This  tool  enables you to telnet other RouterOS	or MAC-Telnetd enabled
       devices.	You can	connect	to either a hostname or	 a  MAC	 address.   If
       specified,  the	hostname (identity) will be looked up via MNDP discov-
       ery.

OPTIONS
       These programs follow the usual GNU command line	syntax.	 A summary  of
       options is included below.

       -l     This  will  discover RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. It
	      will list	the MAC-address	software version, and uptime of	 every
	      device  or machine it discovers. To exit the discovery, use Con-
	      trol + C

       -n     Do not use broadcast packets. A tad less insecure	 but  requires
	      root privileges.	This means that	ethernet packets will have the
	      specified	 mac-address as	the packet destination,	instead	of us-
	      ing the ethernet broadcast address.

       -t     Amount of	seconds	to wait	for a response on each	interface.  If
	      you  have	 several network interfaces, this is the timeout value
	      per interface.

       -u     Specify username.	Without	this option, you will  need  to	 enter
	      the username in a	interactive prompt.

       -p     Specify  password.  Without  this	option,	you will need to enter
	      the password in a	interactive prompt.

       -a     Specify the path of the autologin	configuration  file.  The  de-
	      fault  path  for	this file is ~/.mactelnet. The format for this
	      file is standard INI file	layout.

       -A     Do not use the autologin configuration file.  Interactively  ask
	      for username and password.

       -q     Quiet mode.

       -o     Do  not  send client public key during the authentication	phase.
	      It will force the	old MD5	(pre 6.43) algorithm to	be used.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -v     Show version of program.
