Telnet is a way to connect to remote computers and
insert commands to interact with the computer itself,
or with other users on the server. It is a good way to
communicate with others, as well as operate on a PC
remotely.

I practiced with Telnet at http://www.retromud.org/ .
I had actually used RetroMud four years ago for fun,
as it is a text-based multi-user role playing game. I
was able to connect and interact with an imaginary
environment (such as landforms, items, and navigating
the areas) and real people (talking to other players
of the game). I learned that you have to be very
specific with Telnet commands sometimes in order for
it to understand what you want it to do.
