what you are doing is called "port scanning" and you'd better own the
server you are port scanning since this could be seen as an attack...
by the way you could use port scanners instead of doing it manually via
telnet ...

Subject: Re: How to check port services !
Hi all !
Thanks to all the people who have replied to my question.
Let me clarify something here !
What i wanted was to try to telnet to a linux server from any other
server
and get the services availble.
SO... I dont have an access into that server, so i cannot check the
/etc/services and what is available.
Sp to get the servies available on server i try to telnet to specific
ports to seee if that service is availble or not.
eg: NNTP server for newsgroups run on port 119.
The server where we have our nntp server(or supposed to have) is not
listening to nntp requests. SO i was trying to find if it is available on
any other port.
I hope i made myself very much clear here.
sorry for all the confusion that was here earlier.
Please reply with this perspective.
TIA,
Nayan !
