Oops.  I hit the send button too soon a minute ago.

NT4 includes something called telnet, but it does not come close to
emulating
a VT100 terminal.  It doesn't get the numeric keypad or function keys right,
and it doesn't respond correctly to escape sequences.

My two favorite telnet clients are WinQVT (shareware) and Kermit 95.

   Given that NT4 ships with one, why just 'any' telnet?
There are also a number of shareware ones out there.

   Regards,
