- I suspect that what you want is 'ftp', not 'telnet'. Presumably you
- want to do a file transfer to get a copy of the aforementioned driver.
- The machine is intended for ftp access (hence the ftp. designator for
- the machine name). Try:
-
- ftp ftp.cica.indiana.edu
- login: anonymous
-
- and then do what it asks you to from there. You might also want to
- try 'man ftp' on your host system to find out what you're getting
- into.
