PuTTY is using the telnet protocol in that link.
Telnet has been a built-in component of Windows at least since Windows 3.1.1.
From that point through Windows XP, Telnet was enabled by default. Since it’s an insecure protocol, and will pass any provided credentials in clear text, it was disabled by default starting with Windows 7. It can easily be added back in (though not necessarily recommended) to Win7, Win8, Win10, and Win11 (and all comparable server versions since Server 2008) by using the “Add/Remove Components” tool in Windows. Note that there are separate options for enabling telnet client and telnet server. You would want the client option.
Thanks for the detailed information about telnet with Windows command prompt. Actually I have used it, but now forgot about it. If you scroll down to end of that thread, you will find my post in which I have shown how to use Windows command prompt to explore port 30003 using telnet.
As an alternate to PuTTY, you can use Windows Command Prompt console to telnet and display data from port 30003 and 30106 of dump1090.
NOTE: You have to first enable Telnet Client then only you can use it.
The method is detailed below.
