Microsoft has included telnet with the following Windows Operating Systems:
Windows 3.11
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows NT
Windows 2000
To access Microsoft Telnet from Windows 3.11 you would need to get into the file manager and open the Windows directory and double click on telnet.exe.
To access Microsoft Telnet from Windows 9x, Windows NT and Windows 2000 click Start / Run and type telnet. If you are connected to a server with any of these operating systems you may not have the proper privileges to run this program. Check with your system administrator if you are unable to open the program.
Once you have opened the telnet window you will need to click on the Connect option and select Remote System from the drop down menu. Once connected type in the hostname which will be the either the domain, shell account or IP address for the computer you are attempting to connect to. The port should remain to telnet and the TermType should remain at vt100 unless you know that it is different.
If done properly with the right privileges you should be prompted for a username and password. If you have an account setup on the computer you are attempting to connect to enter it now. If you are connecting to which does not have a user account setup for you attempt to log in anonymously by typing in something similar to:
username: = anonymous
password: = myname@myemail.com
If supported this should allow you to log into the server anonymously.
