TELNET: A command line Internet protocol to log in to a remote computer indirectly through a chain of telecommunications links. It is a bit like using an old DEC VT-100 dumb terminal. The net effect is as if your computer were a character based terminal directly attached to the remote computer. You often log in with the id of "guest" or "anonymous", which will give you low privilege. For security, often you telnet over SSH.
