"Telnet is a program that allows your Internet host computer to become a terminal of another host computer on the Internet. With ftp you opened a connection solely to transfer files. Telnet allows you to log in as a user on a remote machine and run the Internet computer programs that machine provides ... Telnet is extremely simple to use. Just type 'telnet' followed by the address you want to connect with. Once connected you are a terminal on the remote machine and can interact with the programs it makes available. Telnet sits quietly in the background while you interact with the remote machine." -- Darren Rees merlin@cvnet.co.uk A garer a welir o bell. The loves is seen from afar.
