I use
# emerge telnet-bsd
or you could try to see others
# emerge -s telnet (to search for other versions) |

Thanks.!
I was wondering what that telnet-bsd was. cool, I just want the client.
Thanks y'all. I know SSH is better, but sometimes I need telnet.

why telnet? it sends unencrypted everything including passwords.
would ssh be a better option?
though a home LAN would net be a problem |

There are situations where telnet is more appropriate than SSH. For example, say you setup a local MTA and you want to make sure that your answering on port 25. telnet localhost smtp would work whereas ssh wouldnt.[/url]

SSH would be better *if* you're using it to login to a remote account. Not much use for doing something like 'telnet host 25' to test SMTP, etc. Personally, I use netcat for that sort of thing though.

I use telnet to connect to my Router... (a Netgear RP114) It has a web interface but the telnet interface is more powerful.
The router only supports these two access methods.
Hence, thats why I want telnet... (yep, I was searching for it too)
Strange, I did an 'emerge search telnet' and did not find the telnet-bsd package... (maybe I had brain failure at the time...)
