Telnet is the name of both a program and a part of the TCP/IP protocol suite which allows you to remotely access a computer. In the case of services such as mail, which run on port 25, you can telnet into that port and interact with the service manually. You can also do this to webservers on port 80 or finger daemons on port 79. It's kinda neat. Smile

Anyway, to access telnet if you are on a UNIX system, just type telnet hostname <port>, where the port number is optional. If you are on Windows 95/98/NT, choose "Run" from the start menu and type telnet hostname <port> from there.
