Telnet is a text-only protocol, a method of connecting to a remote computer over the Internet that let you use programs and data just as if you were using the computer locally. Some uses of telnet include text-based games, and library catalogs. I practiced telnet at telnet://140.147.254.3, and found it interesting, yet would never use under any circumstance. I just have no use for it really, telnet is also somewhat confusing if you have never used it before. http://www.walthowe.com/navnet/faq/telnet.html#telnetdef Eric Thomas --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
