Answer 1

Telnet is an old way of connecting two computers together so that you can actually run commands on the other machine.

There are fancy programs you can download which are "telnet terminals". But there is a crummy one usually already loaded on most machines. To get specific it would help to know if you were using linux, mac, or windows. and which versions.

But just as a shot in the dark, since you didnt say then Im guessing windows, probably XP. So for me, I can do
Start -> run -> telnet play.sdmud.org 7777
and when Im done I can hit Ctrl-] to get out

of course you would need to change that to
telnet
