Well "telnet" for this is deprecated-- "nc" is the way to go.

I'm curious "why", other than "This is newer and shinier".


1) how many servers do you know of will accept a telnet connection (as in a network terminal)? Hence, telnet is obsolete.

2) nc is bidirectional. When you wonder if the problem is your apps, or the firewall blocking you, you can run nc in listen mode on one side, then nc in opening mode on the other side.
