Telnet is a relic of Unix and is used to login to other computers. Typically you do

telnet xxx.yyy.zzz..

and get a reply like "System xx, release xx"

Then you enter a login ID and password and you are at a unix command prompt or wherever the login script on the other computer directs you.

Kind of old hat these days.
