Telnet

Hi Mike,

This is the way to install Telnet

Go to Control Panel->Programs.

Depending on your VISTA, you will find there option called "Windows features" or "Advanced ...."

Go inside these and look carefully you will find option to install telnet or switch it on.

If you cant find it let me know and I will tell you exect steps. Rightnow I am not connected to my VISTA machine and I am too lazy to go there to lookup the options.

You are better off using PuTTY.

(link on the bottom)

You get ssh support, logging, and the ability to maximize the window out-of-the-box; along with backwards support for unencrypted/vanilla telnet. The new releases of Redhat don't even enable telnet by default; so having the -ssh command line option is often useful.

its a shame putty's exe isnt ssh.exe instead. Then we would all be so much more cross platform.

putty -ssh linux.microsoft.com -u root

ssh -l root linux.microsoft.com

We use Accuterm from www.asent.com . It's full-featured, supports telnet and ssh and has a free download. Thousands of users connect to our servers with it. I prefer the command line telnet because it is so much faster.
