Re: Telnet - GUI?
Telnet dates back to the days of the "dumb terminal" - it is also used by propellorheads to issue commands to other types of server, and read the response - telnetting a news server, to see if it responds, is one example, though it's hard to do much useful.

Telnetting an email server is pretty desperate, you can get some nice small email clients.
