Telnet Tips!
Telnet Commands
Telnet programs are designed to emulate
a terminal where a user can connect and execute commands on the
server. Telnet is similar to modem-based communications except
telnet connects using IP addresses instead of a phone number.
By using the 'telnet protocol', computers talk to each other by
sending bits of data through the internet.
