long story short, I'm on win7sp1
I don't have Telnet on it nor can I get it installed via Programs/Windows Features

so would it be possible to copy whatever files from XP or whatever NT onto my system
that it would work ? - and which files (exactly)

I have telnet server and telnet client options in add/remove Windows features on 7sp1. What SKU of Windows 7 have you got?

Just copied telnet.exe from Windows 2000 into my Windows 7 machine - No trouble in running it.

I can't believe you guys don't use PuTTY: a free telnet/ssh client

It is simple. But okay, break the EULA instead.

Run putty.exe (no installer needed)

See this and put the address in the Hostname field:

Then press Open and you get this:

well sorry
for whatever I spit my money, its mine

otherwise MS or any other company can kiss my behind

QuiescentWonder

The simpleton idea that anything you spend money on is something you own and can do whatever you like with is a plague.

You don't own it, regardless of what you would like to think. In fact, you quite possibly are not only breaking the EULA but also the law.

Barabba

if you want to live in rented life, that's your problem
for everything I buy I get billed paper saying "you bought it"

in any case, this is going offtopic

QuiescentWonder

Except that you didn't. You got a piece of paper saying that you bought a license to use it.

soi guess we all better delete any prerelese versions of microsoft products then ? , since none of us is llowed to use them accoring to the elua , nor have we signed any nda

QuiescentWonder

We aren't talking about prerelease software. The point I'm trying to make is that there is arguably better, free, simple to use software that you can use.

I break the EULA every day just by booting into my hacked together copy of Windows 7 - please don't turn me in. :-(
