       This  tool enables you to telnet other RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. You can connect to either
       a hostname or a MAC address.  If specified, the hostname (identity) will be looked up via MNDP discovery.

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax.  A summary of options is included below.

       -l     This will discover RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. It will list the MAC-address  software
              version,  and uptime of every device or machine it discovers. To exit the discovery, use Control+C-n     Do not use broadcast packets. A tad less insecure but requires root privileges.  This  means  that
              ethernet  packets  will have the specified mac-address as the packet destination, instead of using
              the ethernet broadcast address.

       -t     Amount of seconds to wait  for  a  response  on  each  interface.  If  you  have  several  network
              interfaces, this is the timeout value per interface.

       -u     Specify  username.  Without  this  option,  you  will  need to enter the username in a interactive
              prompt.

       -p     Specify password. Without this option, you will need  to  enter  the  password  in  a  interactive
              prompt.

       -a     Specify  the  path  of  the  autologin  configuration  file.  The  default  path  for this file is
              ~/.mactelnet. The format for this file is standard INI file layout.

       -A     Do not use the autologin configuration file. Interactively ask for username and password.

       -q     Quiet mode.

       -o     Do not send client public key during the authentication phase. It will  force  the  old  MD5  (pre
              6.43) algorithm to be used.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -v     Show version of program.
