In the finder, hold down the option + command keys and drag Terminal application onto your desktop. An alias will be created.

Thank you nbar.

I was able to make the shortcut.

Is there a way that I can have a shortcut open my server connection directly?

The shortcut opens Terminal...but I still have to make 5 additional clicks to open up the remote telent connection.

[Shell>New Connection>Remote Login (Telnet)>+select IP+Click Connect]

Something like this:

Open up Terminal > Preferences > Settings > Shell > Startup: Run Command > telnet [IP]
