I am using the Listserv at my work address.
Question 4.  Telnet.  Telnet is a way to connect to a remote computer/server 
using my computer.  You use your telephone line to gain access.  It is as 
though you are at the computer you are accessing and can navigate anywhere.  
The sites I visited to learn more include:  
http://www.bionet.org/home/help.html and 
http://www.useforesite.com/tut_telnet.shtml 
But they didn't give much more information than we received in our lesson on 
Telnet.  

The site at http://www.cosy.sbg.at/doc/eegtti/eeg_96.html 
is an extended guide to the Internet and access the table of contents will 
provide you with 7 pages of Telnet sites.  At the Bionet site, I tried to log 
into telnet://cs.muohio.edu but could not access the site.  I was not set up.  
I tried telnet://140.147.254.3 for the Library of Congress and came up with 
information system.  I didn't have much luck accessing a site.  I could get to 
a site, but not enter it.  

I can't see me using Telnet.  I didn't see that it could provide me with more 
than I can already obtain.  But, I've been wrong before!!  Susie
