In doing my research for telnet, I found a web site at
http://www.usyd.edu.au/su/netting/telnet/tstart.html that gives the history
of Telnet and how you can use Telnet. Telnet is is a type of program called
a terminal emulator, which allows you to use your computer as a direct
terminal connection to another host computer on the Internet using the
TCP/IP protocol. Telnet allows you to access a computer using a login and
password and run programs, play games, or access databases. There are
some public databases where you do not need a login or password.
I did log in at the IPAC Extragalactic database, at telnet://134.4.10.106,
but after logging in, I was lost. I am so used to pointing and clicking and
being able to navigate that way, it felt like I was going back in time using
Telnet. In this site, you have to use your arrows to navigate.
I wasn't able to log in to the Library of Congress.
According to this web site, a lot of the Telnet sites are disappearing
because of the World Wide Web.
