        Windows is an abomination. However, when I've been forced to
work with it and needed a telnet I always used QVT Telnet. See:

        for reviews of various Windows telnet apps, and:

        for the WinQVT home page. This is shareware, not freeware.
For an _excellent_ freeware telnet, I recommend NetBSD or Linux.
