Module 1: Telnet

After having downloaded two different Telnet programmes, both of which I could not make any sense out of I finally took the advice of a fellow student and downloaded CRT3.0. I am finally in the game!!

As I understand it, Telnet is similar to a search engine, allowing me (the Telnet client) to communicate with a remote computer, in this case, the Deakin library database computer. So I am able to sit infront of a computer anywhere in the world and send commands to the Deakin Library in Perth, which is amazing!

I have found Windows inbuilt "help" on my computer very helpful in clarifying issues I am a bit fuzzy with.

I have to admit that while I understand the basics behind having just done that exercise, I am not quite sure how i would apply it in my everyday internet use, I will see if I can get a better understanding by looking up some more information and letting you know!
