I am new at this so please pardon my ignorance. i use the vi editor on telnet at school to compile my c++ programs. is there any way i can telnet to the school's server from home using my airport connection & OS 10.1/9.2.1? please help! my program's due on monday!!!!!!!!!
and where do go to learn telnet commands?
 
Okay, this is from memory, but ...

Open a terminal, ( in Applications/Utilities) and enter the command "telnet"
Then, type "help" to see telnet commands
You can open a connection by typing:

open 123.123.34.34
(Just put in the IP number you want)

I'm sure there are Telnet apps out there, but you probably don't need to bother.
 
just tupe
telnet hostname (yes even urls)

so my school's telnet would be
telnet serverName.department.someUniversity.edu
