Telnet

Telnet

The Internet implements the TCP/IP protocol to allow computers to converse with each other over networks. Telnet is an example of a program that makes use of this protocol. This program allows a person to log into and use a distant computer supporting TCP/IP protocols almost as if sitting physically at that computer.
For the average web user telnet is not so important as it was a few years ago, since many of the features it once made available are now otherwise accessible via browsers. People who have accounts on multiuser computers (particularly those using unix/linux operating systems), however, still find telnet to be an indispensible tool for accessing their work, from home, from the road, or from around the world.
