Telnet

Telnet is a protocol for remote computing on the internet. It allows a computer to act as a remote terminal on another machine, anywhere on the internet. This means that when you telnet to a particular host and port, the remote computer (which must have a telnet server) accepts input directly from your computer (which must have a telnet client) and output for your session is directed to your screen.
