I feel a little like asking the junior high math class question regarding =
Telnet. : "Why do we have to know this stuff?" =20
Telnet seems rather archaic and very limited. I think it's probably =
useful for researchers who are far from their home base (like archeologist=
s on a dig or something), and it looks like a lot of universities still =
use it in constructive ways, but I did not have much luck with it since I =
did not have passwords to any of the sites I tried, which were:
http://hosting.webhostwest.com/telnet tutorial.htm
http://oregonstte.edu/aw/tutorials/telnet/=20
I did like learning how to find out if I had telnet on this computer. =
That was good. And research this method made me greatful that I am =
getting into this whole cyberspace world now as opposed to earlier. =20
In response to Susie, I agree that Telnet is not for the casual user like =
me. =20
