For the telnet task I decided to use the Putty freeware telnet/SSH client for windows. This software is quite familiar to me as we currently use telnet at work to operate some legacy systems and SSH for a UNIX based email server. The telnet task actually came at a good time as my broadband has just been shaped.
Opening the putty program I selected the telnet option and entered the servers address.
Opening the putty program I selected the telnet option and entered the servers address.
Once I opened the connection to the server I was asked the following questions:
Not quite sure what type of client I was using I decided to look up the details on the documentation provided with my software. I discovered I wanted to use the VT100 terminal as this is the most commonly used for windows systems.
Once past this snag the following screen was displayed.
Its quite easy to see the similarities between DOS and the screens presented in telnet. The fact that you are remotely running a command line based program is very cool and is often much simpler then using a graphical remote control program such as Remote desktop connection or VNC. At work we use the remote command line to perform many functions as it is much quicker and can be scripted (automated) more easily.
Once I looked through the list I decided I wanted to search by author so I entered “A”. After entering the surname the following details were presented.
As the details in the task did not specify which book I selected the first one in the list by entering the number '1'. I then selected ‘additional options’ by pressing + and then selected print. I was then shown the following options:
I selected 2 > email printer and entered my Curtin email address. I followed the same steps and also printed to email the second entry.
Result..
After checking my email, there they are, the details of the two books currently listed as being at DU MELB. In the emails I received were the below details on each book:

Overall I have to say I am a HUGE fan of telnet. The simplicity and potential is amazing. I have not used telnet to browse library records before but it was much as I expected. The most fun I have had with telnet was hosting an eggdrop bot on an IRC server back in the day. You used telnet to connect to a UNIX shell where you could run the application and control the bots functions.
