Adam,
 
Yeah, Telnet can get kind of wierd if you have never used the application 
before. However, once you get used to using the program it comes in quite 
handy.

I found that The Telnet protocol was first defined by Postel in 1980 and its 
purpose was to provide a fairly general, bi-directional, eight-bit byte

I went to the Library of Congress site mentioned in the lesson at 
_telnet://140.147.254.3_ (telnet://140.147.254.3/) I really didn't like it at 
all. 
As others have mentioned, I was confused when the characters I was typing were 
not displayed on the screen. The whole system may have been great pre-www, 
but is just not practical with todays technology. The world wide web is much 
more convinent and accessable. I hope I will never need to use telnet again 
in the future.
