Though, I fail to see, how Cygwin telnet is different from, say PuTTY. Or
native Windows telnet.
Windows 8 doesn't come with telnet.exe installed by default, and when
you install it from Programs and Features, it's invisible to Cygwin 32,
apparently due to the SxS madness.
Cygwin 64 *does* see it, but attempting to run it just drops you right
back at a prompt, immediately.
Even if it did run, wouldn't things like Ctrl-] break due to the
problems Cygwin currently has running interactive native console programs?
Windows' telnet.exe doesn't even run particularly well within cmd.exe.
Telnetting to a local web server here, it didn't do local echo properly,
so I couldn't see whether I'd typed "GET / HTTP1.0" correctly. (I had
Cygwin telnet.exe renamed to cygtelnet.exe during this time, to ensure I
wasn't picking it up by accident.)
