Do you have a purpose? We may be able to help more if we knew it, there may be better solutions.

Also, when you telnet to another computer, then run 'telnet' on it, you are running the remote computers version of telnet, if it doens't have the command line version, then it will try and start up the goofy 9x version, which you can't use from the telnet command line. It's the same deal as if you tried running 'notepad' from your telnet window. It would start notepad on the remote computer. Notepad, of course, cannot be controlled or used from the command line, much like the goofy 9x version of telnet.
