Ftp is built into Netscape (just type i.e. "ftp.ibm.com" in the Location box),
but telnet no (or rather yes, at least in Netscape 4.61; it uses the PM
version of OS/2's telnet).

Try typing "telnet", "telnetpm" or "ftp" in a command line, and voila! you
have a text mode telnet (type "?" for help), a PM telnet, and a text mode ftp
program (type "?" for help). These programs should be there if you have
installed TCP/IP.
Another option regarding telnet is Zap-O-Comm, it is shareware and a fully
functional demo is available from many bbs'es (search for "ZOC").
There are plenty of user-friendly ftp clients (including PM support)
available, but since I'm a command line hacker :-), I can't recommend any...
