### 24.11. m5term

We use the `m5term` in-tree executable to connect to the terminal instead of a direct `telnet`.

If you use `telnet` directly, it mostly works, but certain interactive features don’t, e.g.:

- up and down arrows for history navigation

- tab to complete paths

- `Ctrl-C` to kill processes

TODO understand in detail what `m5term` does differently than `telnet`.
