Use PuTTY (do a google search).

It's more secure, a telnet session is hijacked by scripts within a part of a second.

thnx alot
and do u know if its possible to do that kind of telnet session that kevin mitnick did in the movie hackers2 ? he actually talked to someone much like a chat. how would i go about doing one of those

Haven't seen the movie. If you're on a unix box, you would perhaps use the ancient "talk" command ... it does not require a telnet login to another computer, though.

[avih]

but since he's talking about a telnet proggie for xp, he should use telnet to a *nix box and then 'talk'.

damn, i had hundreds (if not more) 'talk' hours overseas ;) these were the days lol

[smiller667]

ah, the good ol' times .... sigh ... :)

telnet just a program allow the user to the telnet to a remote. SO it doesn't have to be telnet.

BTW the tech in the movie hacker are so early 80ish. Much of hacking and freaking had advanced.

So assume you are log on to the system.
Commands that came off my head are:

all these will work
talk, com, chat, write ,mesg ,Wall

ytalk
NAME
ytalk - A multi-user chat program.

SYNOPSIS
ytalk [-x] [-s] [-Y] [-i] [-h hostname_or_ip] username...

DESCRIPTION
YTalk is in essence a multi-user chat program. It works
almost exactly like the UNIX talk program and even commu-
nicates with the same talk daemon(s), but YTalk allows for
multiple connections.

The username field may be formatted in several different
ways:
name - some user on your machine
name@host - some user on a different machine
name#tty - some user on a particular terminal
name#tty@host - some user on a particular tty on a
different machine
name@host#tty - same as "name#tty@host"
aliasname - an alias defined in your .ytalkrc

You can specify multiple user names on the command line,
ie:

ytalk george fred@hissun.edu marc@grumpy.cc

The -x option disables the X11 interface (described
below).

The -s option starts your YTalk window in a shell.

The -i option disables the auto-invite port (meaning you
won't see "talk to blah@blah.com", but your talk daemon
will beep you instead).

The -h option specifies the name or address of the local
machine; this is useful on multi-homed machines, or vir-
tual hosts, to specify which network interface to use for
communication.

The -Y option requires a capital Y or N as an answer to
any yes/no question.


talk
which is same as ytalk

com
just to send a msg, not chatting

chat
is chat

write
DESCRIPTION
Write allows you to communicate with other users, by copy-
ing lines from your terminal to theirs.

When you run the write command, the user you are writing
to gets a message of the form:

Message from yourname@yourhost on yourtty at hh:mm
...

Any further lines you enter will be copied to the speci-
fied user's terminal. If the other user wants to reply,
they must run write as well.

When you are done, type an end-of-file or interrupt char-
acter. The other user will see the message EOF indicating
that the conversation is over.

You can prevent people (other than the super-user) from
writing to you with the mesg(1) command. Some commands,
for example nroff(1) and pr(1), may disallow writing auto-
matically, so that your output isn't overwritten.

If the user you want to write to is logged in on more than
one terminal, you can specify which terminal to write to
by specifying the terminal name as the second operand to
the write command. Alternatively, you can let write
select one of the terminals - it will pick the one with
the shortest idle time. This is so that if the user is
logged in at work and also dialed up from home, the mes-
sage will go to the right place.

The traditional protocol for writing to someone is that
the string `-o', either at the end of a line or on a line
by itself, means that it's the other person's turn to
talk. The string `oo' means that the person believes the
conversation to be over.

mesg
NAME
mesg - control write access to your terminal

SYNOPSIS
mesg [y|n]

DESCRIPTION
Mesg controls the access to your terminal by others. It's
typically used to allow or disallow other users to write
to your terminal (see write(1)).

OPTIONS
y Allow write access to your terminal.

n Disallow write access to your terminal.

If no option is given, mesg prints out the current access
state of your terminal.

Wall
NAME
wall -- send a message to everybody's terminal.

SYNOPSIS
wall [ message ]

DESCRIPTION
Wall sends a message to everybody logged in with their
mesg(1) permission set to yes. The message can be given as
an argument to wall, or it can be sent to wall's standard
input. When using the standard input from a terminal, the
message should be terminated with the EOF key (usually
Control-D).

You can alway read a manual for more information.
