[ale] Telnet to Linux from a winbox

[Mark Thomasson]

You should be able to run Telnet.exe found in the sysytem out of the box.
Its standard with any installation on any Windows box.

If this person is using Hyperterminal ( found under  Accessories) that comes
with 95/98/NT, then  you can go to Hilgraeve Web site
(http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe.html )  and download the  free upgrade to
Hyperterminal Personal Edition , which allows TCP/IP connections .If you
don't upgrade you are limited to connecting via a Com port (modem/direct
connect) with Hyperterminal.
