Telnet - Windows XP Service
Enables a remote user to log on to your computer and run programs, and supports various TCP/IP Telnet clients, including UNIX-based and Windows-based computers. If this service is stopped, remote user access to programs might be unavailable. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.
This service exists in Windows XP only.
