I learned at http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/telnet_commands.mspx that telnet commands allow me to communicate with a remote computer that is using the Telnet protocol. The tlntadmn commands allow me to remotely manage a computer running Telnet Server. The purpose is to provide a fairly general, bi-directional, eight-bit byte oriented communications facility. I practiced Telnet at telnet://140.147.254.3 (Library of Congress Information System). To practice I made a choice, I typed choice 1 (Copyright Information) and pushed enter key. This page ran a ?Notice? telling that an improved copyright searching system will replace current search system in 2006. The new searching system offers new features, so it?ll be more convenience to work on it. Jorge Ismael Abijana --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
