Hi class! At http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/doc/eegtti/eeg_toc.html#SEC97 I learned some of the things that can be done with telnet. Some of them are to explore libraries, accessing a BBS system and File transfer (FTP). At http://www.cyberspace.org I found out about GREX, which is a computer conferencing system out of Ann Arbor that is supported by donations, but membership is not needed to do the basic things. I logged myself into the system, giving myself the name of storytel, and read some of the many messages, and then used the e-mail feature to send an e-mail to my friend, with a copy to myself on my regular e-mail account, and was able to retrieve the e-mail -- it worked!
