To learn about Telnet I utilized the following site. http://www.elated.com/articles/telnet-and-basic-commands/ This site primarily gave me basic instruction on how to log-in and use some basic commands. It offered no background information. Webopedia.com defines Telnet as ?The Telnet program runs on your computer and connects your PC to a server on the network. You can then enter commands through the Telnet program and they will be executed as if you were entering them directly on the server console. This enables you to control the server and communicate with other servers on the network. To start a Telnet session, you must log in to a server by entering a valid username and password. Telnet is a common way to remotely control Web servers?. After searching the web I found http://www.aota.net/Telnet/index.php3 which was very helpful in assisting with using Telnet. I found that telnet was very much like DOS, simple programming commands. The site http://www.bergen.org/ATC/Course/InfoTech/telnet.html helped me to better define telnet as a set of rules that enables a coneection between two computers, also known as a remote login. I practiced using Telnet from my work computer by logging on to the Library of Congress system. Did you know that 1. questions can be directed to the email address lconline@xxxxxxx 2. The Library of Congress (LC) uses the interlibrary loan procedures (ILL) to lend material from its collections to US libraries and 3. Their website address is http://lcweb.loc.gov.
