I think Telnet is more useful to programmers and support staff to help gain "backdoor" access to a problem with a website. There are still older systems out there with no internet acees, believe it or not. bob smith <internetclass666@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: I learned that Telnet died for a reason. There are many other great uses for the internet and this isn?t one of them. I went to telnet://140.147.254.3 for the LoC and I found out that they haven?t updated since 1999. When I went there I ended up getting a command prompt, which was ok, but it didn?t allow me to see what I was typing. The fact is there has been so many advances in the internet I don?t understand why anyone would want to use this. -Tim Blood --------------------------------- Sponsored Link Don't quit your job - take classes online and earn your degree in 1 year.
