Description

basic telnet client
The telnet command is used for interactive communication with another host
using the TELNET protocol.
.
For the purpose of remote login, the present client executable should be
depreciated in favour of an ssh-client, or in some cases with variants like
telnet-ssl or Kerberized TELNET clients. The most important reason is that
this implementation exchanges user name and password in clear text.
.
On the other hand, the present program does satisfy common use cases of
network diagnostics, like protocol testing of SMTP services, so it can
become handy enough.
