I learned about telnet from http://www.cyberspace.org/telnet.html.
Telnet is a type of terminal emulation program, just like modem-based
communications programs. The difference is that they allow you to access other
computers through the Internet, rather than by dialing the other computers
directly.
Telnet programs "talk" to other Internet-connected computers using what's
called the "telnet protocol" for communication. This protocol specifies how
telnet programs should send data back and forth, allowing for interactive text
sessions.
I worked with telnet on http://www.moongate.net. Using telnet format took me
back to the days of dos. I prefer windows based computer interaction.
