Hello classmates, I don't have any previous experience with telnet. I did learn that telnet is a way to connect remote computer based on the telnet protocol. I learned this information at http://telnet.org/htm/faq.htm I chose to access the Library of Congress Information System at telnet//140.147.254.3 When I reached the menu page, I got stuck unable to move the cursor or enter a choice. I finally figured out that what I type doesn't show up on the screen but it is there. Once I figured that out I was able to enter choices and review the copyright information avaible on the menu. That was definitely an experience for a beginner. --Paula Melton
