On WinXP/Win2k3, we can use telnet to if tell remote port is open. Since there's no telnet on Win 7, is there any other lite utility can do this?

putty is a telnet/ssh client that most people recommend. Many putty forks might work. Alternately you can copy hyperterminal off an older windows install i think - by copying the hypertrm.dll and hypertrm.exe files.

If you merely want to check for open ports, how about nmap? Amongst other things, it does port scanning.

    nmap perhaps? it does a whole lot more, but yes, it scans ports. Your question seemed to be specifically asking for telnet to me tho
