Ditto on the SSH recommendation. One wonders why telnet is still used, 
except on MS platforms where telnet.exe is touted as "new technology the
gods invented" or some such :).

Luckily, there is a *very nice* set of tools for Win32 platforms that do
telnet/ssh, scp and sftp, called PuTTY. These are very small utilities that
can fit easily on a floppy and are free to use. It doesn't do X, though.

PuTTY can be found at: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ 

Luckily also, with Unix there is little need for hacks like PC Anywhere.
