In Unix, telnet doesn't have commands -- it just connects you to an
arbitrary TCP port (default 23, the telnet port).  GET is an HTTP
command.  Or, more accurately, an HTTP request method.  If you don't
speak HTTP, this is going to be painful.

Ahh -- that's what you need.  Probably something like

  o localhost 80

from the server machine and

  o serverhost 80

from other machines.

Or install Cygwin and stop struggling with Microsoft's stupid tools.
