Telnet Clients for Windows

Please remember that telnet connections pass information--including usernames and passwords--across the network in plain text. Use Secure Shell when possible, especially when connecting to sensitive systems. You cannot telnet to bama.ua.edu from off-campus; you must use Secure Shell.
