"All work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy."
-- Anon
I am about to point you to one of the greatest Internet resources I have ever found: Scott Yanoff's Internet Services List. Yanoff's List is a free, exhaustive, subject-oriented list of thousands of incredible Internet sites, tools, and addresses.
With that said, today's homework assignment is to get a copy of Yanoff's List, find some neat telnet sites on the List, visit a couple of those sites, and PLAY! :)
There are a couple of ways that you can retrieve a copy of Yanoff's List for free:
If you send an e-mail letter to this address, the address will auto-reply with the latest List (it does not matter what you put in either the subject line or the body of your letter).
There are three other ways that you can access Yanoff's List, but we'll talk about those later on in the workshop.
Yanoff's List may look kind of intimidating at first, but you will soon discover that it is pretty easy to figure out. Here is a sample entry from the List:
*AGRICULTURE------------------------------------------------------
-Agricultural Info., telnet/gopher psupen.psu.edu
Family Issues, or telnet 128.118.36.5
Food & Nutrition PENpages (Login: Enter your two-letter
state abbrev.)
telnet caticsuf.csufresno.edu
or telnet 129.8.100.15
CSU Fresno ATI-NET (Login: super)
telnet eureka.clemson.edu
or telnet 130.127.8.3
CUFAN (Clemson U Forestry & Ag. Net.)
(Login: PUBLIC)
Let's take a closer look at this:
telnet caticsuf.csufresno.edu
or telnet 129.8.100.15
CSU Fresno ATI-NET (Login: super)
This entry gives you the site's address (caticsuf.csufresno.edu (or 129.8.100.15)), the name of the site (CSU Fresno ATI-NET), and the word that you need to type in to login to the site (super).
I told you that this is easy to figure out. :)
By the way, Yanoff's List also includes entries for other, non-telnet sites like GOPHER, FINGER, and HTTP. We'll talk about the Internet tools that you will need to access these sites later in the workshop.
Finally, since this is going to be your first real experience surfing the Net, there are a few pointers that I want to give you:
Have fun exploring TELNET, and have a safe and happy weekend.
