No telnet commands as such, whats that supposed to mean, how about the 17
options of the telnet command as per 'man telnet' how about all the extra
commands as per the escape command so on and so forth and not forgetting
you can telnet to "any" port not just port 23. There are many applications
which use telnet as a protocol but listen on other ports as well, or do
you mean you have never really used anything else than;
telnet <host> <port>
Anyway as has been respectivly pointed out here by some, "dont use telnet"
for login shells, use ssh instead, there is more than just big brother
watching thesedays.
