* I found a couple of different sites that talked briefly about telnet.
Many of them seemed pretty sparse in terms of information. They basically
said that telnet is a way to connect to a remote computer. Here is a link to
one of these sites:

Not very verbose is it?
This site has much more useful information:

One of the things I learned is that the online game both of my daughters play
(Wheel of Time MUD) is probably telnet. I have often seen the screen while
they are playing and it looks like that's what it is. I read that telnet is
often used for this purpose (MUD). I'll have to do some checking to find out
for sure. I also learned that the connection I use to logon to work from home
is a type of telnet. It is called TN3270 and uses telnet to simulate full
screen 3270 connection.
* I first tried the Library of Congress telnet site but I could not get
connected. So, I searched for some other sites and found one that allows
access to the University of Michigan Library catalog (MIRLYN). This is the
address I used:
<telnet://mirlyn.telnet.lib.umich.edu/> telnet://mirlyn.telnet.lib.umich.edu/
Being a good Spartan, I found a link there to the MSU library catalog. It was
interesting to poke around and see what I could find. I decided to search to
see if they have a copy of a book my uncle wrote - and they did (see below)! I
found this site easy to navigate.
I know that my Uncle had taught at UM years ago, so I tried a similar search in
the UM catalog and found more entries there.
