More technically, Telnet is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote computers. On the Web, HTTP and FTP protocols allow you to request specific files from remote computers, but not to actually be logged on as a user of that computer. With Telnet, you log on as a regular user with whatever privileges you may have been granted to the specific application and data on that computer. I was able to connect to the Library of Congress Information System( telnet://140.147.254.3 ). information on telnet can be found at -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet "You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality.
