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!

     - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO *NOT* WRITE TO ME
       WITH YOUR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS! My e-mail is now up to
       500 letters a day :(

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.
