Our discussion search and remote access would not be complete without mentioning Telnet. It is an Internet protocol that allows you to log in to a remote computer, and access it as if you had a direct local connection. It is often used to play games such as MUD and MOO.

There are many different Telnet programs available. You can download this software from the World Wide Web, or purchase it at your favorite computer store. Your online service, or ISP may also provide you with a copy.
