telnet client for OS X

[space-time]

[quote wowzer]Type 'man telnet'

It will tell you how to login as admin.

Essentially type:

telnet yourIP_or_domainname -l yourAdminName


For a local server with an IP address as 10.0.1.12 with a username of howdy, type:

telnet 10.0.1.12 -l howdy

It will prompt you for a password.

GL.

Hmmm, I tried your suggestions and it does not work. Telnet refuses to take that kind of command. if I try "telnet -l admin" I get a bunch of suggestions on how to use telnet. if I just try telnet 192.168.251.1 then at least I get a username prompt.
