In my case I am using Windows Terminal, but it works in every terminals.
You just need telnet installed on your machine.

Install Telnet on Windows 11

Telnet is not installed by default on Windows 11 (in Windows 10, as well) but you can install it very easily from the Command Prompt.
Open a terminal and launch the command below:



dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Close all the terminal windows.
