Hello Everyone:
I'm writng to share my Telnet findings with all of you. First off, I
didn't realize that the communications protocol behind Telnet pre-dates
the Internet. According to http://oregonstate/.edu/aw/tutorials/telnet,
the Telnet protocol was develpoed in "the dark ages" as a means of
sending/receiving text between a main computer and its terminals.
Another thing I realized, upon visiting telnet://134.4.10.106, is that
the Telnet protocol sends only text and presents it in a DOS-like
environment. Navigating within this database was difficult (being so
used to a GUI interface!). Despite these drawbacks, the speed at which
this text is sent is truly amazing! I wish TCP/IP was as fast!
Anyways, this was an interesting exercise.
