Zeta is the oldest and least secure method for remotely logging
in to Zeta (and UNIX-like operating systems). The command is used
to communicate with another host using the protocol.
yellowTAB strongly recommend you not to use telnet for security
reasons, as telnet doesn't ecrypt the data it sends over
the network. Anything you do and type (including your username and
password) can be intercepted by other users. You should only use
this type of remote login when both computers are behind the same
firewall, on a private network!
To log in to a remote system using telnet, enter the
telnet command supplied with the domain name of the system that
you want to log in to as an argument:

After you have logged in to the remote system, any commands you
execute will only affect that system rather than the system that
you are logged in from (the machine in front of you).
When you are on a remote session, pay attention to command prompt,
the hostname of the system you are currently logged on to is usually
displayed.
