Just a sidenote: I'm not too sure what your specific needs are, but I would
say don't use telnet.

Telnet is very insecure: all your passwords, data and whatever else goes
across the terminal is transmitted in plain text. It's not as bad when its
all on a local, switched network, but anything outside that, forget it (Even
on the switched network, its still a bad idea).

A better alternative would be to use SSH. Not only is it more secure, it
also has various features that can be quite a help, such as secure X
forwarding, ssh tunnels to get through firewalls, scp, sftp, etc.

Very feature-full SSH tools exist for many platforms; For windows I would
suggest putty (free) or SecureCrt (not free), search google to find their
webpages. Heck, you can even install cygwin which gives you a unix
environment in windows if you really wanted to, including good old 'ssh'.

I admire your passion, Chris..

The only issues which have kept myself from looking seriously at Linux
would be:

* It's Unix and the learning curve to start getting productive strikes me
as probably very steep

* It doesn't support plug-and-play.  If your hardware doesn't have Linux
drivers, it don't play..

* Not nearly the amount of developers out there doing stuff for Linux as
there are for Wintel.  Can I get MS Office for Linux?  Can I get
Photoshop for Linux?  Can I get QuarkXpress for Linux? etc.. a big turn
off for me.
