If you are running OSX, you can launch the terminal app and type "telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" and it will attempt to connect to that server via command line interface.
Just out of curiosity...what is Telnet for?
And how do I come up with a modem for my old 512ke...that's the only thing I
don't have. :(

Telnet's an old web beowser that will work fair with Macs of the vintage you
are trying to internet with. It's graphic-devoid, bringing you only text
when you visit a page that won't crash it.
The Telnet client you are referring to also has several types of terminal (old client-server protocol) emulation supported.
Hope that helps.
