I want to launch an xterm telnet window:
xterm -e telnet xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
Which I can do but needs to also launch commands as well.
In 2016, telnet should rarely be used for anything but troubleshooting unless your goal is sniffing the plain text passwords that it sends across the network.
That being said, why not just launch the xterm window, then type the telnet command in to it?
This is a remote server that I'll be accessing.
