I used the same site you did for the telnet.  I have never used anything like this before, pretty interesting huh?  I never knew there was such a thing until now. I thought it was pretty easy to navigate but could see where it could also see where some parts could be confusing.

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.
