um, in case i misunderstood on the first round...
if you wanna use linux to log in to a windows command-line
(or some other command-line server) just as you did using
hyperterm, as if logging into a plain-old-fashioned BBS,
you can just
telnet ip.or.internet.host.name
man telnet
from any linux command line (console or xterm). beware: telnet
sends everything you type, verbatim, so anyone sniffing network
traffic can see what you're up to.
if it's a secure shell server, you'll wanna use SSH instead:
apt-get install ssh
ssh ip.or.net.name.to.connect
man ssh
it's in non-us or non-free, so your /etc/apt/sources.list will
need the appropriate setup to accomodate it.
apt-setup
(which you can get via "apt-get install base-config")
will help point you in the right direction.
