Hi Guys,

I recently (like 5 minutes ago) had occasion to use Telnet to get access to my email account.

Is there a graphical version of this lovely prgram that I can use, rather than having to bugger about with the command prompt?

Ideally I would be looking for something where I could set up the connection strings in advance and just click a button to connect. I know this is a bit lazy of me but, well.....what can I say

Cheers all.

Oh, forgot to ask. What else can you do with Telnet?

Is it just used for logging into remote servers (like mail servers) or can it be used for other things?

Is there a list of commands anywhere?
