I don't think it has one, at least not in 7.4 that I have but I am waiting on getting XP Pro so I can test the server side of PATHWORKS 32 as XP Home doesn't have the user admin tools I need to make it work.

Frankly commandline access to Windows NT wouldn't be that useful anyway ;)

In general remote login on Windows machines are not that common. Not sure I've ever seen a telnet server either (but I'm sure that DO exist).

Windows 2000 has a TELNET server IIRC. Naturally, I turned it off ;)

Windows machines are meant to be used locally, using the graphical interface. Not remotely using a plain terminal.

Yes, Windows is generally a graphical environment and command terminal access is only usually used for running UNIX-like stuff largely or running batch automation/unattended install scripts and the like.

Remote access *is* quite common in Windows environments but it is mostly via Remote Desktop/Terminal Services or something like Citrix handing out remote graphical desktops. Remote command terminal access is very rare.
