Telnet is just a application, client. A telnet-like server, I could understand. The telnet client does lots of things and handy ones too. It&amp;#x27;s a raw protocol allowing you to send whatever data you desire.&lt;p&gt;Checking if the web server is responding correctly, sometimes you need to troubleshoot HTML headers and telnet is perfect for that as well as checking ports too to name a few.</text></comment>
