specifies the type of input.
In character mode, the TELNET client immediately sends each character you type
to the remote system. In line mode, the text you type is echoed locally and sent to
the remote host when you press the RETURN key.
The TELNET client enters the mode you specify only if the remote host is capable
of entering that mode.
By default, the mode is character.
Example
To change to line mode, enter the following command:
telnet> mode l
open Command
Use the open command to establish a connection to a remote system.
host
is a host name or host address identifying the remote system. See Addressing
Remote Hosts on page 8-5 for information on specifying host names and
addresses.
port
specifies the number of a port on the remote system that you want the TELNET
client to contact. If you omit port, the TELNET client attempts to contact a
TELNET server at the default (well-known) port, which is 23.
Example
The following command establishes a connection to the TELNET server on a system
named dist101:
telnet> open dist101
quit Command
Use the quit command to close the remote connection and exit TELNET.
