 Yes it can be used as a telnet client.  I have been using it for over a
 year as a telnet client.
 There may be more than one way to set it up but I will give you the
 details as I did it.
 Make a phone book entry for the BBS you want to telnet too. Then edit
 the entry and set the connect device to telnet and set the primary
 number to the domain name (if you have the dot numbers they can also be
 used) of the bbs you want to call.  The other things such as name,
 password, script, protocol, etc is your choice as to their use or not.
 Once the phone book entry is completed connect to your ISP then launch
 TFW (I have had trouble if I launch TFW before connecting to my ISP)
 and highlight the entry you want to telnet to and hit the dial icon.
 TFW when used a a telnet client will support zmodem transfers both
 upload and download.  Some telnet clients will not support zmodem
 upload and some not very good.  But TFW does a very good job.  Like any
 other thing on the net if conditions are right (wrong) it can be slow
 but this is the net not TFW.
 I have used TFW as a telnet client to at least 10 different BBS's and
 regularly 4.
 I even use scripts to make my mail run unattended after I hit the dial
 icon.
