Description: basic telnet client
The telnet command is used for interactive communication with another host
using the TELNET protocol.
For the purpose of remote login, the present client executable should be
depreciated in favour of an ssh-client, or in some cases with variants like
telnet-ssl or Kerberized TELNET clients. The most important reason is that
this implementation exchanges user name and password in clear text.
On the other hand, the present program does satisfy common use cases of
network diagnostics, like protocol testing of SMTP services, so it can
become handy enough.
