Are you trying to telnet to an NT box or from an NT box?

If you are working "from" NT, you can telnet, rlogin, or rsh (I forget
exactly which one) to a Unix host of choice, given the user name and
password and a proper network connection...

If you are working say from Linux to NT... Don't know if NT supports
telnet out of the box or not, but there should be some service you could
run to do it...  Not haveing a NT box to bang on, sorta limits what I
can tell you though...

Gosh.. I thought that NT *was* Unix according to Microsoft...  Guess
they did not tell the truth on that...
