Command-Line Commands Summary
  TCP/IP Utilities
    Telnet

This connectivity command starts terminal emulation with a
remote system running a Telnet service. Telnet provides
DEC(TM) VT 100(TM), DEC VT 52, or TTY emulation, using 
connection-based services of TCP.  To provide terminal
emulation from a Windows 95 computer, the foreign host must
be configured with the TCP/IP program, the Telnet server
program or daemon, and a user account for the computer
running Windows 95.  The Telnet application is found in the
Accessories program group if you install the TCP/IP
connectivity utilities. Telnet is a Windows Sockets-based
application that simplifies TCP/IP terminal emulation with
Windows 95. 



Note  Microsoft does not provide the Telnet server daemon
(telnetd).
