telenoth 

A word used to describe a really cool, talented, or handsome guy. A jack of all trades.
Wow, did you see John dazzle those two chicks last night? And he fixed my car, too! That guy's a real telenoth.

The other definitions are correct, but fail to mention that telnet is very insecure, as all data (including user names and passwords) are sent across the network in plain text (unencrypted). On an untrusted/public network (like the internet) this can be quite dangerous.
Telnet is outdated. Secure Shell (SSH) is a far better alternative.

When you are at the ER and you need to admit a patient to a ward with telemetry surveilance but there just isnt one availiable, you resort to ghetto telemetry: POX-meter and the patient hooked up to the ECG with the nurse ready to print a snapshot every time the heartrate drops below a threshhold with 0.5ml atropine ready at hand.
