A Linux list isn't the best place to turn to for advice on old DOS programs.
Still, it took me down memory lane for a few minutes.
The only DOS-based telnet program I ever used was NCSA Telnet, which worked
with TCP stacks that derived from the old crynwyr (sp?) package. Dunno if it
works with Microsoft's TCP stack from a DOS window. On my old SIMTEL CD, the
zip file is way bigger than you can use -- about 800 K -- but the actual
telnet binary is 155 K. This is still over your limit, but in case you don't
find any alternatives, I thought I should at least mention it. The actual
zipfile is called tel2308b.zip and can be found online at URL
http://www.univie.ac.at/simtel.net/msdos/ncsatlnt-bydate.html .
Online, go to URL http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/PCTelnet/FAQ.html
for into.
One other possibility is listed at URL
http://www.univie.ac.at/simtel.net/msdos/internet.html . It is:
-- qvttcp21.zip (134K) - QVT/TCP v2.1: Telnet/FTP package for MS-DOS
And I vaguely recall a package named minuet, but I don't recall any details
about it.
(BTW, consider creating a custom, 1.7 meg floppy to give yourself the extra
room to hold a bigger telnet app. The tomsrtbt rescue disk package
(available at sunsite in both DOS and Linux versions) includes both howto
docs and (in the DOS version) a modified formatter to create such disks.)
