Telnet tries to start a TN5250 connection, which doesn't work

"Pure" telnet on a unix box does nothing, it just connects, allowing you to
fake out an HTTP exchange.

I've never been able to get telnet, on the i, to work properly
connecting to a web server.

Are there any specific parameters to get it to work?


Correction, I can 'kind of' get it to work ... but it just flashes the
screen & disconnects.

Arguably, this is a reasonable way to test that I can connect to the
remote system (if not the best).

Association's Tour de Cure to raise money for diabetes research, education,
advocacy, and awareness. You can make a tax deductible donation to my ride

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
