At http://www.elated.com/tutorials/management/unix/basic/ I found out that the 
basic commands used in telnet are actually in the same format as the command 
line commands for my family's old Amiga computer in the 80s/90s.  Telnet must 
be Unix-based, because the Unix system seems to have taken over the old 
structure, commands, and abilities of Amiga computers.

I logged on to the Library of Congress website using telnet at 
telnet://140.147.254.3.  There I found that telnet doesn't always display what 
you have typed into the console.  So if you feel you mistyped a number it's not 
easy to verify it without simply pressing enter and finding out what it did.
