Hi, Telnet is used as a common way to remotely control web servers. You can enter commands through the Telnet program and the will be executed as if you had entered them directly on the Server console. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/T/Telnet.htm To practice Telnet I went to Materia Magica. It was fun to create my own character. One thing I learned while using Telnet is that it will only let you do certain things such as type in information correctly.
