USAGE
 T[elnet] <hostname> [<port_number>]

DESCRIPTION
 The telnet command allows you to initiate a TCP  connection from the
 NOS mailbox out across  the network to another host.  This allows an
 AX.25  user with nothing more than a terminal and TNC to gain access
 to the TCP/IP network.

 By  including  the optional port_number,  you can connect to any TCP
 server at the given  host.  The  default is to  be connected  to the
 "telnet"  server, which  in the case  of NOS  software, is the MBOX.

 To quit the session at any time, enter the escape character (CTRL-X
 by default, can be changed with the E[scape] command).

EXAMPLES
 telnet wb7xxx     (Connect to wb7xxx, (MBOX if NOS) )
 t wb7xxx 25       (Connect to the SMTP mail server at wb7xxx)
