What happened to Telnet on the Vista OS?????
Telnet is a great application for basic remote administration of computers. Sadly in Vista though it is turned OFF by default. This only adds to the frustration that is the Vista Albatross.
To turn it on you have to get to Programs and Features in the Vista complex. To get here do this:
Start Pearl > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on and off (Left Hand Side of Window on bottom) > Telnet Client
Enable it by placing a check mark beside it and click OK and/or Close X all the way out to the desktop. Now go to the Run command and type in telnet.
A telnet session will open allowing you to connect to a remote host device.
Frustrating at first, but easy to remedy in the end...
