Telnet under the Win7 command window is a pain, I also find that it throws up some spurious characters when editing source files. Any suggestions re a telnet counterpart that provides full windows capability, including scroll bars, font and colour selection? Googling Telnet seems to come up with nothing but .... Telnet.

Try searching for PuTTY and Tera Term.

You could install cygwin, which includes an X server and xterms, but that's a bit like hitting a nail with a sledgehammer.

It also includes a decent telnet client and console window if you'd like to try a smaller hammer...

+1. Putty is a single executable that fits nicely on a thumb drive. Installation is... copying one file. It also does serial ports and SSH. There may be SCP under it; I forget.
Tera Term is fine, but more of a mess.
