Now I can reply to it and unsubscribe from Listserv. According to _http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid7_gci213116,00.html_ (http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid7_gci213116,00.html) , Yes, Telnet is a great thing for some but my server would not pull up the LOCIS files, both under _telnet://140.147.254.3_ (telnet://140.147.254.3) as given in Lesson Six, Q6 and the one you gave below. From the search I did on Google, only CISB classes were listed. The search through Yahoo produced a site _http://www.copyright.gov/records/#locis_ (http://www.copyright.gov/records/#locis) and by clicking _Connect to LOCIS using Telnet_ (telnet://locis.loc.gov/) a black window came up which did not allow me to enter any information as I am not registered with Telnet nor do I have a password. The following information was given on LOCIS' Usage Guide site, _http://www.copyright.gov/records/guide.html_ (http://www.copyright.gov/records/guide.html) "Follow these instructions if a totally black window appears when you try to start the telnet program: Windows 2000: Enter the following sequence in the telnet window: * Press CTRL ] * Type “set local_echo” and press ENTER * Type “set term vt100” and press ENTER * Type “open locis.loc.gov” and press ENTER Windows XP: Enter the following sequence in the telnet window: * Press CTRL ] * Type “set localecho” and press ENTER twice If you have difficulty connecting, you may also access LOCIS by telnetting directly to locis.loc.gov or numeric address 140.147.254.3. Contact your Internet service provider for further assistance." I have Windows 2003 XP so I didn't bother to gather any further information or change any settings. I can see no reason to fix anything on the network. I am confused at this stage of the game. I shall now unsubscribe to Listserv. If you wish to contact me, please use our email sends in Angel. Thank you. Mildred Crothers Hi Class, I found a website at _http://www.elated.com/articles/telnet-and-basic-commands/_ (http://www.elated.com/articles/telnet-and-basic-commands/) that was helpful in learning how telnet is used and the distinct difference between the telnet protocol and the HTTP protocol . Telnet would be a great tool for working at home or if you had to fix something on the network while you were away. I practiced telnet at the Library of Congress, _telnet://locis.loc.gov_ (telnet://locis.loc.gov/) After about an hour of unsuccessful attempts, I was admitted to what appeared to be the wonderful world of DOS. I wanted to review the libraries list of commands and after I chose the appropriate number, there was great hesitation. After the initial selection, it went much faster. The viewing area seems small. To go back to the list, you put in the appropriate number, no scrolling here. Sandy Keller ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
