Very well located. This means that their bandwidth potential is virtually unlimited. Well, basically the whole world of information is now available via a local phone call. Also, those of you who have been lobbying for a local CompuServe node can now telnet to CompuServe from Hawaii Online. Telnet is a method of connecting from one UNIX host to another.
Hosts are the computers connected to the internet.
There are various levels of internet connectivity available to you. I'm going to discuss two of them. The first type of connectivity can be accomplished by dialing into the system with an ordinary terminal emulator program like Microphone or Zterm. The UNIX host will present you with a menu structure and you will be able to operate programs that are running on the UNIX machine in Honolulu. Using these programs, you can send email, telnet to other hosts, download files from other hosts and navigate the World Wide Web.
