PROBING THE INTERNET WITH TELNET:

One aspect of the interconnectedness of the NET is that you can log in to other machines on the internet directly from from your own computer,no matter where you are.with TELNET you can log onto any computer  or network thousands of public sites where passwords are not required .you would not be able to work on these unix systems without telnet, which turns your windows or macnitosh computer into a remote terminal that is compatible with computers outside of the personal computer universe.

Many university and public libraries make their catalog available by telnet,as do countlass other repositories of useful information.


After you have started your telnet program, you need to open a internet connection and log in to the site with the steps described here:

Type telnet and press enter at the unix prompt.

This will put you at a telnet> prompt. then type open host site name and press enter.

Logging in with telnet is the same as logging in to any computer system. You type your username and press enter.


Then you type a password and press enter.
