how to install telnet on macOS High Sierra ? Hello. I use a Zyxel ZY-AMG1001-T10A modem to connect to the internet and need to use some arcane command line to configure it and to request DSL line-state information from the modem. The Zyxel modem is quite recent. However, its command line interface requires using telnet port 23. Secure connection with ssh is not an option. So I want to use my mac to issue commands to the modem by telnet across my private network to its LAN side. How can I install telnet on my startup dive under macOS High Sierra ?I am in process of installing xcode on the mac. That could not hurt. I have found on the internet references to solutions involving Homebrew or other similar packages, and also a reference to an insecure download from http://ftp.gnu.org. Can I find secure installers somewhere ? TIA

High Sierra / Mojave telnet through terminal hi, So I was trying to enable telnet on my iMac, running High Sierra 10.13.6. Purpose is to connect to network devices that currently do not support SSH and therefore can only be accessed by telnet. My questions; Is it possible to get telnet back on your CLI? ssh exists, can I include telnet? (I think I read no due to 32bit) What are my other options? So far I tried to install putty with xcode, macports and command line utilities. It's brought me to this error message: Liams-iMac:~ liam$ putty (putty:15431): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:55:24.103: cannot open display: How do other people use telnet? It's such a key tool in troubleshooting and diagnosis of problems its a shame it's been removed from the OS. Any help is very welcomed. Liam
