Your TCP/IP stack usually includes one (at least a basic one)...  For example MiamiTelnet comes with Miami TCP...   Do you have TCP/IP services running on your A600 yet?

Hello! No i dont have a tcp/ip stack on the puppy yet.

Do i always need that, for using a telnet through the serialport?

Yes, you'll need a TCP stack for Telnet. BTW, I use DCTelnet. (Aminet, I think) It's quick, and easy...

I always used telser.device and a terminal program (usually JrComm or TERM).

Telnet is TCP/IP traffic, to use this you would need a network card or null-modem w/ a SLIP/PPP connection.  Both require a TCP stack Miami, AmiNET, etc.  Nothing is "built-in"...

The easiest and fastest option I found...  3Com EtherLink III PCMCIA (3C589) Network Adapter on Ebay ~$9, and MiamiTCP software.  Was pretty easy if your familiar with internet routing and network configuration.
