[citw150] CITW Lesson 4, Question 6

I went to _http://helpquest.com/cupport/tutorials/telnet_ 
(http://helpquest.com/cupport/tutorials/telnet)   and learned that telnet is 
basically used to 
connect to a UNIX system because of  its command line interface. It lacks the 
graphics that add to our enjoyment of  surfing the net. It can be used for 
pinpointing problems in CGI script, editing  files without downloading them, 
connecting to telnet directories that are not  empty or for talking. Give me a 
chat 
room any  day!!     
 
I practiced telnet at _telnet://134.4.10.106_ (telnet://134.4.10.106)   and 
manage to  navigate for about 10 minutes before being unable to get back to the 
main menu  and exiting the program. Didn't learn much at the site because I 
didn't have the  required data for searching for objects or the numbers that 
are assigned to the  millions of objects above. I can see where it would help 
astronomers and  scientist when it comes to correlating data, but without 
spending more time on  learning how to use telnet I will try to avoid using in 
the 
near future. Give  CGI all the way!:-)
