NAME

telnet - make a remote telnet connection

SYNOPSIS

telnet machine

DESCRIPTION

Telnet uses the Telnet protocol to talk to a remote machine, addressed using any form acceptable to sys-dial(2): net!host!port in general. The default net is tcp, and the default port is 23, the standard Telnet login port.

Telnet connects to the given machine and interprets the Telnet protocol. It reads data from its standard input and sends it to the remote machine, and copies to the standard output the data it receives from the remote machine.
