    I want to setup a web page with so I can click on a link and it takes me into a Telnet session to that address and port.

    It doesn't need to have SSH or anything fancy
    Preferrably Open Source

    At present I can cut/paste and run the command that way.

    Why not just link to the telnet URI and let the users telnet client of choice kick in?

    [url]telnet://127.0.0.1[/url] works when entered - but not clickable

    so maybe I need a firefox extension that will recognise it as a clickable link
    or get www.wikiserver.org to treat it as a clickable link

    What Sponge Bob gave you is a telnet URI, just like http, mailto, or ftp etc. URI schemes there is a telnet URI scheme.

    http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes is one of those documents it's worth being familiar with if you do any web stuff.

    Works here. You need to:
    1. Have a telnet client.
    2. Have it bound to the telnet URI scheme.
    3. Not have told Firefox previously to always disallow telnet URIs (firefox prompts you about some URI schemes before launching as a security measure, and there is a "remember my choice" option).

    Turned out that all I needed to do was embed the html code on to the wiki page.
    [$html:<a href=telnet://127.0.0.1>telnet://127.0.0.1</a><br/>]

    Thanks all :)
