This command establishes a connection with another host on the network using the
telnet protocol. You must specify the target host but the other arguments (such as
echo, mapnl, mode, etc.) are optional. If you do not specify the other arguments the
line telnet values will be used (values set/shown in set telnet or show
telnet)

If you do specify arguments such as echo, mapnl, mode, etc. the values you enter will
override the line telnet values. Note that your values (specified here using the
telnet

command) expire when your telnet session is finished; values set/shown in

set telnet

or show telnet can be saved permanently.

When the connection is made you will be prompted for your login name.

echo, mapnl, etc. these are telnet options. They set values once only, for the duration of a

single telnet connection. See comments under
