Yes, there are telnet clients. Spectrum is the main product, which is on 
my wish list for when the cash comes along. I have recently written a 
telnet NDA, which you can download and try out. It is $5 shareware if 
you decide you'd like to keep using it.

There are two ways to do ftp at present. GWFTP, a text only port of unix 
ftp, and Arachnid. GWFTP is functional, though not very friendly, and 
has a nasty bug, ie it crashes whenever you close a connection. Arachnid 
is the web browser I have been developing. It is currently at preview 3. 
It is quite limited, no graphics, forms or anything fancy yet, but you 
can browse simple sites. the ftp support requires the entry of a valid 
ftp URL, ie it doesn't yet display directories. It is possible to browse 
the Trenco archive's web interface and click on the ftp links to 
download.

I am also currently at work on an ftp NDA which I hope to release in 
coming weeks.
