      Ok, why on earth would you tell windows users to enable a deprecated program/protocol that passes credentials in the clear??? Wouldn’t it be better to teach them how to use SSH?

        Hi Scott,

        This tutorial is showing to enable Telnet client ( not telnet server) . I think still most of system administrators used telnet to check port status of remote systems.
