Doc Text Feature: Newly introduced switch "-i" prevents telnet from doing DNS lookup and instead it uses IP address when calling login utility.

Reason: Some computers in the network may have more than one IP address (wifi, LAN etc.), thus it is possible to use one address to connect to telnet server, but the second one will end up in the utmp file.

Warning: This switch has exactly the same functionality as "-N" in Debian. Unfortunately this switch is already in use in RHEL.

*telnet* now accepts "-i" to use an IP address when calling *login*

When a computer on a network has multiple IP addresses, it was previously possible to use one address to connect to the *telnet* server, but the other addresses were saved in the `/var/run/utmp` file. To prevent the *telnet* utility from performing a DNS lookup and ensure that *telnet* uses a particular IP address when calling the *login* utility, you can now use the "-i" option. Note that "-i" works in the same way as the "-N" option on Debian systems.
