Missing Telnet

Hello:

May I know how can I use telnet again?

Thanks!

By default, Vista doesn't include the Telnet client, which is a text-based
application for communicating with remote systems. You can install it by
following these steps:



1.. Open the Programs and Features Control Panel applet (Start, Control
Panel, Programs and Features).
2.. Select "Turn Windows features on or off."
3.. Select the Telnet Client option and click OK.
4.. A dialog box appears, confirming the installation of new features.
After installation is complete, close the main Programs and Features Control
Panel applet. The telnet command should now be available.

Download putty from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
it does ssh as well as telnet.

A good substitute for Windows telnet client is AbsoluteTelnet from
Celestial Software. Not only does it support 'telnet'
(http://www.celestialsoftware.net/telnet) as the MS client does, but it
also supports 'SSH' (http://www.celestialsoftware.net) , which is a
better security choice. It has a tabbed interface, advanced security,
and is translated into seven languages!
