I have my Apple IIgs connected thru a direct serial line
to my PC and with the use of a program called STerm
running on the PC and a VT100 program on the Apple
I can telnet pretty well. There is a telnet sight that runs
Lynx, and when you telnet to it, you can actually access
virtually any site that displays textual content. I don't
use it often, but for a hoot now and again I will go and
log into it for the sake of knowing it can be done. ;-)
