what's mac's equivilent to windows' telnet?

Oh, we use a little application called "telnet". It's from NCSA, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois. (You might remember a little application called "Mosaic", thsat started all of this graphical web browser silliness, heh. Same folks.) Try looking at http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/MacTelnet/Docs/ - this is the tool for you to use, I've got one friend, a webmaster/sysadmin, who manages about 50+ unix servers on his mac, running multiple windows with NCSA Telnet in it. It's basic, but behaves the way you'd expect it to.

Your pal, -doc-

Nothing built in that I know of. I've got a shareware telenet app called BetterTelnet - plenty of options available if you use it, which I never have had to much. Sorry couldn't ne more specific.

I use BetterTelnet(cause its hrm... better?) and MacSSH for secure logins. I forget the address to either, but they are easily found at places like download.com etc.

Just go somewhere like www.download.com or www.tucows.com for a list of telnet programs for MAC.
