"Uhh. No. Telnet is a network protocol. The application they're referring to is being used as a serial console. The correct term could be ``dumb terminal'', ``serial terminal'', ``terminal emulator'' or one of various others. You're right that ``Hyperterminal'' is a brand name and shouldn't be used except as an example, but ``telnet'' is more wrong. "

Ok I stand corrected. I was assuming hyperterminal was connecting to the unit's internal IP address(in which case it would be using Telnet), which of it does not, it uses a serial connection..

I should have worded it perhaps as "using a terminal emulator such as xxx"...

Oh, I'm not trying to be elitist just stirring things up around here..
