Hello Everyone,
I went to Wikipedia, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TELNET) and learned that
Telnet is short for Teletype Network and is a protocol used over the internet
or a LAN. Telnet connects a user?s computer to a server and can allow the user
to run commands on the server from their desktop. From what I can see, most
public Telnets revolve around games and chat.
According to the article in Wikipedia, there are many security risks with the
use of Telnets for a variety of reasons. The article also recommended Telnets
not be used anywhere security is important, such as the internet.
I joined the Vortex BBS (http://vortx.darktech.org/index.html) and it
reminded me of the old DOS window. After I joined I had to wait for a
verification email but no problems after that. For those who enjoy chat and
bulletin boards I feel there are much better applications than Telnet, at least
the one I joined.
Regards, Bruce Davis
