Module 1 Telnet

I have only ever been a front end internet user - so these tasks, that may be second nature to some all new to me.

Seems my browser has a built in telnet client (Yay!) as typing in telnet://library.deakin.edu.au raised the right results. Sent my result to the curtin address and there is was. First task down - so far so good.

Result read:

SELF TEST ANSWER : Managed care: finanical, legal and ethical.

To try to understand how telnet can be useful I checked out :telnet://towel.blinkenlights.nl, amazing, but not sure I have an understanding of why telnet would be used tod
