Had a patron in the other day who wanted to use telnet to check her mail. Patrons can do so from Fillmore (or any computer whose Start Menu has not been partially or wholly disabled). You go to the Start menu and click on Run.
In the dialog box that appears type "telnet username.email.domain.domain". For example, a main UMN email address would be username.email.umn.edu and a SocSci address would be username.socsci.umn.edu. This will bring up a telnet window and the patron can check her mail. --Amy
