Make sure you know before hand what the IO port and IRQ numbers that the
network card is set to. It could very well save you time. If possible
download the driver from your manufacturer and put it in non-PnP mode.

Pretty much any telnet program will do. Except of course for the default

telnet. Which can be downloaded as a trial version. Just do a yahoo search
for CRT telnet

Yep, that will work just fine. Remember during the install, when it asks,
to install lilo on your MBR.
