You are able to log on to a computer remotely through telnet. What I learned?
Well, I could see the use for Telnet for Computer professionals, but you would
have to be really "Techie" to use this, I think.
I went to the Library of Congreass site telnet://140.147.254.3 and it worked
like a DOS site. I entered number 10 on the site menu and read about LOCIS
which is a search and catalog assistance, and then went on to describe it as an
information retrieval system.
I looked at the definition of Telnet through the MS Windows XP's Telnet site
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/telnet_commands.mspx?mfr=true.
That was nothing more than a dictionary description. I then went to the
Webopedia site http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/T/Telnet.htm. I found this one a
little more interactive and informative. There were links to keywords within
the description that opened a new window for the description to that link, and
within that description ther were even more links to follow. There were other
words that had a double line under them that a pop-up description would show
when you put the mouse pointer over the word. I thought the Webopedia site was
much better than Microsofts.
