Chapter 6: TELNET (Mining the Net, part 1)

     Like any large community, cyberspace has its libraries, places you
can go to look up information or take out a good book.  Telnet is one of
your keys to these libraries.

    What is TELNET?

FYI:

     The Usenet newsgroups alt.internet.services and alt.bbs.internet can
provide pointers to new telnet systems.  Scott Yanoff periodically posts
his "Updated Internet Services List" in the former; Thomas Kreeger
periodically posts "Zamfield's Wonderfully Incomplete, Complete Internet
BBS List" in the latter newsgroup.   The alt.bbs.internet newsgroup is
also where you'll find Aydin Edguer's compendium of Internet-BBS- related
FAQs.  Peter Scott, who maintains the Hytelnet database, runs a  mailing 
list about new telnet services and changes in existing ones. To get on
the list, send him a note at scott@sklib.usask.ca.
