TELNET != login. Before you utter those words again in the same sentence, please read the Telnet RFC. Notice how the term "login" appears nowhere in that document. Telnet is a general purpose way to obtain a remote terminal connection. That it is sometimes used for remote logins is simply a byproduct of terminals being used to remotely log in to hosts. But it's far from the only thing Telnet is used for. --lyndon
