[SOLVED] Is It Possible to Create a Telnet Session in URXVT?

Greetings-

Just curious if anyone can tell me how to create a telnet session via rxvt. I saw a thread on here where someone said that it's possible, but I can't find any documentation on it. Just wanted to try it out to connect to my switch which I normally connect to from a tera term emulator.

Thanks guys!

Just run:
telnet the_address_of_your_switch

Or I missing something profound?

I'm with ewaller, I don't see how using RXVT Vs any other terminal emulator would affect your ability to use telnet..

What's a "tera term"?

Well it was profound to me until you just showed how easy it is. The magic of learning eh?

Thanks.
