Module 1 "Task A - Telnet"

Ok, so i spent some time reading up on the discussion boards to get an idea of what i need to do & understand the main issues. I couldn't find how to get Telnet to begin, i tried the suggestion Rhys made to go to here. I also did some initial background research and found a good resource here for telenet. Then i realised i already have the telnet application on my computer via Daryl on the discussion board. I tried start/run typed in Telnet & found it. I then went straight to help to find out what commands i needed to access deakin library. It took me forever to get my telnet application working but eventually found the right typing configuration to get it going. Please see my attempts & frustration growing below!



Thankfully after trying every possible way ... to my relief it finally worked.. From here on it was relatively easy, i found the author & book.. GOT IT :)



Then of course i don't know what my external curtin email is so i checked out the discussion boards and other students had the same problem, so i entered what i thought my email is because i couldn't find how to get into my curtin email.. so by now i'm really frustrated as i have searched everywhere.. So i posted a message to the forum but couldn't wait for a reply and so i googled it.. I found it YAY!! Oasis - thats right... My emails came through successfully & Monique completed her first mission!! After all the initial problems Telnet was easy to use & the library info sent to the email is a pretty cool command & would come in handy for uni. Overall i would not like to use Telnet on a dialy basis as it is outdated and their are better software devices via the internet to find what i am looking for. You can tell it is an old program however it shows just how far man has come with technology.
