Telnet is a special kind of terminal emulation program that functions over a PPP connection instead of dialing directly into Panix. Unlike direct-dial terminal emulators, which grab the modem and prevent you from making any other connections in the meantime, a telnet program uses the same Internet connection as Web browsers and other "TCP/IP" applications. Since TCP/IP programs share the connection with each other, you can open and use a telnet session without exiting your other Internet applications.

Telnet is a program used to connect interactively with another computer on the Internet. A Web browser usually controls all of the transactions between a user's computer and other computers on the Net, and it automatically translates data it finds into formatted text, sounds, and pictures. Telnet only lets you view data "as is," but it lets users communicate directly with another computer: every time a key is pressed in a telnet session, the signal goes directly to the other computer. Opportunities to use telnet have greatly diminished during the last few years, but some services are still only available by telnet. Back | Top of glossary

Telnet is a program that can be used for everything from writing a web page to emailing to searching for library books online. It's a program to run programs - you're most likely interested in it because it will run the M**of your choice and is probably what pops up when you click on the link on the homepage. The downside of telnet is that you can't see what you're typing and you can't correct yourself - which means lots of typos and that you can't change your mind! I'd suggest downloading a free client online - SimpleMU and MUSHClient are both good options for PC users.*See Client

Telnet is one of several Internet protocols that allows you to connect to another computer on the Internet. Once connected via Telnet, your computer acts as a terminal on the remote computer. Generally speaking, the remote computer requires you to login to it before allowing you to use the services provided by that computer. Telnet requires that a Telnet client be installed on your computer. When a Telnet session begins, a separate window appears on your screen. This window is not a graphical screen like your Netscape or Internet Explorer browsers. It is a character-based (text) interface. Your mouse does not work while in this type of Telnet session. You must use your keyboard. Please refer to the appropriate documentation file for any special keystrokes you must use while using the application. Technet customers use Telnet sessions when accessing SEARCHmate databases and some other Premium Services.

A program that is used to remotely control computers over a network. Telnet programs can be used to manually communicate with servers on the Internet. I demonstrated a Telnet program called "PuTTY" in class, and showed how you can send an HTTP request to a web server and manually send an e-mail message by directly communicating with an SMTP server. To use a telnet program to access a server.
Telnet allows communication between two computers over a network. See also.
The command and program used to connect to certain kinds of computers on the Internet. It is most often used to connect to UNIX shell accounts and used to be the primary way to connect to the Internet from a home computer, but it is no longer necessary for most Internet users. The telnet command/program gets you to the login prompt of another host, and allows the user to sign on and "use" the Internet site computer as if it were the one sitting on your desk.
is another Internet protocol (computer language) for creating a connection with a remote machine. It gives the user the opportunity to be on one computer system and do work on another, which may be across the street or thousands of miles away. It uses a text-driven interface that may be a bit off-putting for people used to menus and mouse pointers.
(n.) The virtual terminal protocol that enables users of one host to log in to a remote host.
Telnet is a protocol that allows client programs to connect to 'ports' or 'sockets' of host servers. Telnet uses text, and has become the home of countless MUDs, Moos, and Talkers. But Telnet can also be used to access mail servers, UNIX logins, and other server daemons that run with text on a server port.

Telnet is a way of accessing a server at the command line level. You can run commands such as crontab and mysqldump via SSH. Information sent is not encrypted and many hosts that offer shell access are doing away with telnet and moving to SSH. See also: PuTTY, Telnet, SSH
A portion of the TCP/IP suite of software protocols that handles terminals. Among other functions, it allows a user to log in to a remote computer from the user's local computer.
Telnet is a way by which you can log into a computer that you're not sitting in front of. For instance, say you have an Internet account at yourhome.com, but you're out of town and yourhome.com is a long-distance call away. If yourhome.com allows people with accounts to log in via telnet, you could get onto another computer on the Net and telnet to the yourhome.com computers and log in to check your mail or use special features that only yourhome.com users have access to. Some of the chat areas on the Net are reached via telnet.

Telnet is the way you can access someone else's computer, assuming they have given you permission. (Such a computer is frequently called a host computer.) More technically, Telnet is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP Protocol for accessing remote computers. On the Web, HTTP and FTP protocols allow you to request specific files from remote computers, but not to actually be logged on as a user of that computer. With Telnet, you log on as a regular user with whatever privileges you may have been granted to the specific applicaton and data on that computer.

At Telnet sites, you can only access the information that the site allows you to, unless you already have an account; often university networks work this way, allowing you to access their library information but not much else. As a guest user, from the time you log on to a Telnet site until you finish the session, every character you type is sent directly to the other system just as if you were actually sitting there at that other computer terminal.

Telnet is a system of remote login whereby your own PC acts as if it is a terminal directly connected to a computer somewhere else on the internet. It allows direct access to large files, for example databases or catalogues. In order to access the remote machine it is necessary to have a password and user id, as well as the internet address of the host machine you are trying to log on to. Access to library catalogues at other universities has tended to be through telnet, however these are now increasingly moving over to more user-friendly web-based interfaces.

A program that enables you to open an interactive login session over TCP/IP networks like the Internet. Commands you enter from your own computer are executed exactly as if you were seated at the remote machine. Some computers require you have an account for access, while others function as public archives where no unique login is necessary.

TCP/IP protocol for establishing connections with networked computers. Different types of telnet connections can be established; for example, browsers fetch Web pages by telnetting to a special port (usually port 80) on the Web server. Telnetting to port 23 gets the login prompt on the remote machine. Telnetting to port 21 starts a file transfer dialog using the FTP protocol.
Telnet is a user command using TCP/IP protocols to access a computer remotely.
