Module 1
Task # 1: Telnet
My copy came as part of my operating system (Vista Home premium). To access it I typed 'telnet''into the search area within the ''start'' button on my laptop. Once the window opened I typed "open library.deakin.edu.au''. Connection was a very quick 2 seconds. My stumble block this far was the next screen after connecting to the library at Deakin, it asked what kind of terminal I was using: VT100 or NCSA VT100 and to select one. After a google and visit to wikipedia I decided that VT100 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vt100-adventure.jpg was not what I was using and selected the NCSA VT100. The rest was quick and hassle free, and I found it very interesting. I had heard of, but never used Telnet before.
The bit of fun at the end was impressive, however had I been a star wars fan I would have been blown away. The pictures reminded me of typing class back in the 80's, made by using keys such as 'x', O' & spaces. Technology and graphics have sure come along way.
