Telnet Information A Telnet account is included with all Domain Virtual Accounts. It is not included with Non-Domain Accounts. A telnet account on our system is not a license to use our machines as your personal pc. Please do not treat it as such. Login, do your work and logout.
People abusing the telnet facilities are subject to having their telnet privileges terminated.
