        .TH  TELNET  1         .SH NAME         telnet - user in-
terface to the TELNET protocol          .SH  SYNOPSIS          .B
telnet          [-8]  [-E]  [-F] [-K] [-L] [-S tos] [-X authtype]
[-a] [-c] [-d] [-e escapechar] [-f]  [-k  realm]  [-l  user]  [-n
tracefile]  [-r] [-x] [host [port]] The command is used to commu-
nicate with another host using the protocol.  If is invoked with-
out the argument, it enters command mode, indicated by its prompt
( In this mode, it accepts and executes the commands  listed  be-
low.   If  it  is  invoked with arguments, it performs an command
with those arguments.  Specify an 8-bit data path.   This  causes
an  attempt  to  negotiate  the  option on both input and output.
Stop any character from being recognized as an escape  character.
-F  forward a copy of the local credentials to the remote system.
-K Specify no automatic login to the remote system.   Specify  an
8-bit  data  path on output.  This causes the BINARY option to be
negotiated on output.  -S tos Set the  IP  type-of-service  (TOS)
option  for the telnet connection to the value which can be a nu-
meric TOS value (in decimal, or a hex value preceded by 0x, or an
octal  value preceded by a leading 0) or, on systems that support
