This makes me sad. People not knowing what it is or what it can be used for. I don't know if I'm old, really nerdy or both.

Because I got time, I'll try to give you a nice answer :wink:

Telnet basically permits you to get control remotely to another machine with command line.

Its port number is 23.

It isn't used much anymore because telnet isn't secure at all. As there is not encryption during the telnet session, every data is seen in clear. When you connect via telnet, your password can be intercepted.

That's why ssh appeared which makes the same thing but it is more secure.

Normally telnet shoudn't be used anymore but there still are some equipments using telnet as some switchs, routers/modem ,...
