My report on Telnet:
I learned that Telnet combines telephone and internet. You usually have to
login in once you've made a connection. Telnet is a protocol, a set of formal
rules by which to transmit data. Some people use a Telnet to connect to e-mail
accounts. For example you can use Telnet to connect to library computers to do
research. I found it a little difficult to find a Telnet connection on my
computer being that it runs Windows XP, and that I am just learning this
version of Windows. All of the information on web sites I looked at gave help
for earlier Windows versions. Two sites that were of some help were
http://oregonstate.edu/aw/tutorials/telnet/ and
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/telnet.html . I practiced using Telnet at
http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/doc/eegtti/eeg_96.html#sec97 then chose History off
the list of Telnet sites which was located at Telnet: forsythetn.stanford.edu .
I typed Telnet: forsythetn.stanford.edu in the address bar and hit go and a
Telnet window popped up. After I logged in I searched Martin Luther King Jr.
information in the database there. In this particular Telnet site you could
always type help if you needed it. Using this site was kind of like being at
the library and looking through the card catalog. There are different commands
you use in different Telnet sites. I noticed that most all of them listed the
commands and action that the command did. I could not move around as much as I
do on the Internet. I felt really limited as to what I could do.
