I found on http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/it/telnet.html[1] that telnet is used toconnect directly to another computer that you have a login to in order to give it commands in the UNIX prompt or play games. I practiced using telnet at telnet://140.147.254.3[2]. I looked around a bit, and I had it list some records. I learned that it is a lot easier to play games (I used to spend way too much time playing MUD games) using telnet than look for information. I also was reminded how much easier it is to use with another program that will show you what you are typing as you type it, such as zMUD. - StephanieFunk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find the music you love on MSN Music.
