I know all windows system have telnet in command.com. Which is reachable from start/run and opens an native dos window. Would anybody know the syntax of the native dos telnet command to include the port number to use? telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx would get me to the telnet port at that IP address. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Dinesh Nair Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 3:15 PM To: fbsd_user Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.
