So, if you ever used a terminal connected to an IBM mainframe, you may have used Telnet without even knowing it.

I'm not quite sure what this was directed at. This?

Anyway, a more interesting question is whether you know what telenet was.

If so, I'm afraid that's a miss. You're thinking of telnet, per the OP. As far as that goes, telnet was never anything specific to IBM. Actually to be more accurate, what you're really thinking of was probably IBM 5250. The IBM 5250 transport was a bastardized version of telnet which was indeed proprietary to IBM.

Telenet was something else altogether.

Young whippersnappers, sticking an extra e in there when I'm not looking. Yep, okay, swing and a miss.

Ya know you have to install telnet as a windows component in Win 7?

Yeah found that out trying to access as400 in an alternate method on my laptop that I now don't have admin rights on...winner!
