The telnet protocol, developed in 1973, is a terminal service used to connect to a remote computer over a network. It has been replaced for the most part by SSH, an encrypted protocol for security, although Microsoft still includes the telnet command-line client with Windows. The telnet client lets you set the terminal type you’re emulating, turn local echo on or off to display what you type to the screen, and log your session to a text file on your computer for later review.
