I just installed the telnet client and it works from a cmd shell but any other shell (eg tcc) gives "unknown command" and can't see telnet.exe in system32. I tried copying the telnet.exe to another directory but that just hung!

I was making a joke. Telnet is extremely versatile. I used it once to connect to port 25 of a Usenet server and impersonated a NNTP server, creating loads of useless newgroups as an experiment. The Usenet server propagated them all over the world within 24 hours ! That was somewhere in the nineties. Those groups still exist. The power of telnet is it's simplicity, that it can be used to mimic virtually any protocol, not just telnet.
