Anyway, read some of the other students advice, and as I run Vista went to the Telnet Help page, read, followed instructions. Went and made a cuppa while installation of Telnet Client (dial-up) proceeded. Opened telnet then typed (?) as suggested to view commands. Couldn't seem to locate a way of going back to an empty screen, so close and open and away again, wrote the commands down so as to be able to use them! memories not that good. Took a few goes before I worked out that you have to put the command prompt o (open) before not after the address. OK off to Deakin Library database. ? What kind of terminal are you using- thats a very good question, went with W>NCSAVT100
must of been the right answer!! New window, you may search for library material by any of the following (bunch of new commands)Chose by Author typed in Bannahum (required author) Search came up with 2 authors by that name. More new commands selected Print as instructed, new options chose email typed in email address. then nothing seemed to happen no confirmation etc. Decided to assume that I had completed the task effectively and went to sleep.
Checked email Wednesday and here it is, Task successfully completed. Telnet was a very simple and effective way to obtain this information, but not at all visually appealing or stimulating, nothing to click :)lol
