TELNET /tel'net/ /vt./ (also commonly lowercased as
`telnet') To communicate with another Internet host using the
TELNET (RFC 854) protocol (usually using a program of the same
name). TOPS-10 people used the word IMPCOM, since that was the
program name for them. Sometimes abbreviated to TN /T-N/. "I
usually TN over to SAIL just to read the AP News."
