in thread Time out error as I connect to remote desktop server using telnet

You've specified port 80 when connecting. Telnet does not usually run on port 80. Port 80 is typically used for HTTP, telnet typically uses port 23. Either don't specify a port at all or provide the correct one.

If you're confused by telnet type man telnet at the command prompt.
