You can use a telnet URL to reference a telnet link to a remote machine. An example is:
telnet://flober.rodent.edu
If you are connecting to a machine that requires IBM 3270 terminal emulation you can substitute tn3270 for telnet. In either case, this will only work if the web browser contains, or has access to, a program that can act as a telnet or tn3270 client.
Rlogin connections are "sometimes" possible using the rlogin URL. The specification is:
rlogin://username@flober.rodent.edu
where username is the account name for the rlogin. You will be prompted for a password, unless one is not required. Current browsers emulate rlogin URLs using a telnet client.
