Test connectivity to IP/port
I want to test the connectivity to an IP with Port number = xxxx.
I only know telnet can do it. For example, telnet <IP> <port>.
But I don't have telnet installed (no package) on my Red Hat Linux server.
I searched the Internet and realized that I will need either the installation media which has the telnet-server or telnet packages, or use the up2date utility along with your RHN subscription to download the package. It appears to me it is not easy to get the simple thing installed as I don't have the media and the subscription myself. Shouldn't the package be open for free download somewhere on the Internet? Thanks.
