In order to have a firmer base for discussions with my provider (who
doesn't provide support for Linux), I would like to understand what telnet
. 119 does. I only know telnet as a facility to use my computer as a

and with that magical number as argument? Can it be explained in a few
words? "man telnet" didn't help me much.
