MAP12: TELNET (PART 2)
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" -- anon
There are *many* incredible Internet books on the market today.
The following listings were copied, with the permission of the
publisher, from "The Internet Yellow Pages" written by Harley
Hahn and Rick Stout (and published by Osborne McGraw-Hill).
Hahn and Stout's "The Internet Yellow Pages" has over four hundred
pages of listings for various e-mail, LISTSERV, Internet mailing
list, Usenet, telnet, FTP, Gopher, and finger sites around the
world. I went through "The Internet Yellow Pages" and randomly
picked forty-one interesting telnet sites.
Before I turn you loose on the Internet, there are a few things I
want to say:
- The listings give the site's address, and the password
required. For example, if the listing said
Address: squirrel.com
Password: patrick
you would simply telnet to squirrel.com, and use the
password "patrick" :)
- If a site does not let you in, its probably because that
site is having some problems. If this happens, just pick
another site.
- Please remember that your local Internet service provider
only handles the *local* part of your service. It would be
pretty foolish to call your local Internet service provider
and complain about a problem that you are having with a
*distant* computer :)
- Remember the Roadmap code: YOU CAN NOT BREAK THE INTERNET!!
The Internet was built to survive a direct nuclear attack
... it can take ANYTHING you do to it. If the Internet can
survive me, it can survive you. ;)
- If everything falls apart on you, EXIT TELNET AND TRY AGAIN!
Your homework is to pick one -- and ONLY one -- of the following
sites, and telnet to it (because of the size of this workshop, I
am going to have to limit you to one site for now; after the workshop
is over, you can visit as many sites as you want) :)
Have fun, and have a safe and happy weekend.
