I have to say I think Microsoft's Telnet clients are pretty bad. I
certainly wouldn't recommend them when there are really good products
available, both commercially and shareware.
There are a number of sites with Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 shareware.
Here's the URL for one of them, listing 8 or 10 telnet clients:

Frankly, I wonder why Microsoft chose to include the pretty limited TCP/IP
tools with their systems that they did. Perhaps to encourage third party
developers or perhaps to steer clear of the Antitrust Division of the U.S.
Dept of Justice.
