For example if you know the commands for http or imap you can access those servers through telnet as well. > I looked in the man pages for telnet and I didn't find anything about > that. Can you point me in the right direction? Thankyou. A principal source for information about internet standards are the so called RFC (Request For Comment) documents. They are detailed specifications of individual standards. For example the RFC for POP3 is: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1939.html If you find the RFC too technical you can search for "pop commands telnet" on google and you should find some more practical information. I myself like the RFCs and in the case of POP3 the RFC is not too complicated (the one for IMAP is much more complicated). Hope that helps, Bijan -- Bijan Soleymani <bijan@psq.com> http://www.crasseux.com
