Homework - Telnet

1. Read the Telnet material in the notes.

2. Hand in a print-out of a transcript of the following computer session. In case you forgot: you start producing a transcript by typing script, and you end it by typing [Ctrl][D] or exit.

• Do a telnet to iris.rutgers.edu. This will connect you to the Rutgers Library Information System. If you do not know it yet, you might want to learn more about it as it is a very useful tool for finding books, see whether they are in the library, etc.

• Once in the IRIS system, try to find the instructions for a new user. (Depending on how your computer is set up, this might involve some hitting of RETURN etc.)

• Look at the overview for a new user.

• Leave IRIS using END.
