As a common way to remotely control
a web server, Telnet is a protocol for remote computing on the Internet.
It allows a computer to act as a remote terminal on another machine,
anywhere on the Internet. This means that when you telnet to a particular
host and port, the remote computer (which must have a Telnet server)
accepts input directly from your computer (which must have a Telnet
client) and output for your session is directed to your screen. There
are many library and information resources that are accessible through
Telnet.
