Ethernet Shield Client or Server?

hello,

i have basic question:
is better use arduino uno (with ethernet shield) client or server, if want connect telnet client/server running on windows 7?
i want stability rather speed or performance. there sent/read data approx. every second , more within 1 second (if user types in bytes...).

thank you!

quote

a server listens on host , port, receives requests (e.g. through socket connection), , sends response client initiated socket connection.


the client sends request server socket, , waits response.

so want arduino?
