First, you need a telnet program of some kind. QVT, CrossTalk, ProComm, and Hyper Access are example of programs capable of telnetting. You also need to be connected to a system in some form, be it by PPP or dialed into another system with telnet capabilities. If you're a public user and wish to use the public offerings, click on Public Server . There is a page on TLN available to explain this process called Configuring a Telnet Application for use with Netscape if you're not sure how to connect a telnet application to Netscape.
Outside systems can have many varying ways of telnetting via menus, scripts, etc.
The above is just a sample. Your information must be exact. HOST will be tln.lib.mi.us if you're a staff user. Public users use pub1.tln.lib.mi.us 4. After you sucessfully telnet in, you'll be required to log in.
