1. Type telnet hostname or telnet IP_address at the HP-UX
prompt, as in the following example:
telnet hpabsa
2. Type your user name and password when the remote host prompts
you for it. If you are using the Secure Internet Services version of
telnet you will not be prompted for a login or password. You must
have a valid login to the remote host in order to connect to it with
telnet.
After you log into the remote host, telnet is in input state. When
telnet is in input state, you can use the remote host as if your
terminal or workstation were physically connected to that host.
If you notice that certain keystrokes do not do what you expect them

13.
3. When you have finished working on the remote host, type exit to log
out of the remote host and exit from telnet:
exit
