"telnet pop.telus.net 110" is the command you should try.

Well I tried that from various directories but everyone said 'telnet' is not
recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Is it supposed to be from a certain directory?

Thanks Brian

telnet isn't enabled by default AFAIR - you need to enable it in Control
Panel-Programs-Turn Windows Features on and off.

I've never had to do that on any machine I've ever configured. Telnet has
been include on all Windows versions since 2000 without my explicitly
including it. I looked it up for Windows 7, though, and I see that what you
say is true. I didn't realize it and I hadn't checked my own Windows 7 system
because I hadn't needed telnet.

AFAIR I had to enable it on Vista as well. (Home Premium that is - may be
the "higher" versions have it enabled by default...)
