Now doing the same from my computer
Task A - Telnet
Telnet was successful to library server, choose the appropriate terminal and continued to search for author. Found author easily, not a bad little interface this. Selected a book, not clear from the instructions that you have to select a book before printing. Now, stuck a little no the email address, what is the full Curtin email address? Trying keith.farrelly@curtin.edu.au however this email address is not real as such, so not sure if it will work. Had a look at the WebCT website, its not obvious from there what your virtual email address is. Oh, worked it out, its keith.farrelly@student.curtin.edu.au.
Task B - Blinking Marvellous
Not a bad piece of ASCII character manipulation, somebody spend a long time writing a simple program that spins through lots of different slides/pages. Haven't seen anybody who spent this much time doing this sort of stuff in ages. It reminds me of some of the most basic games and funny comic strips that I used to write in basic on my old Mitsubishi MLF80 MSX computer when I was a young teenager. Of course this could be done now with a nice snazzy flash embedded animation, but hey it’s not quite as retro. Blast from the past!
Of course some of the problems with this type of demo are evident straight away, the terminal that displays it may corrupt the images, the timeout on the telnet session may kick in too early, and the graphics are...well not graphics really.
FTP Task
CAPITALIZATION is the answer. Very simple FTP task that would be a good exercise for somebody new to this technology.
Traceroute Task
Below is the output from the trace route command from the website:

- There were 21 Hops, 246ms to destination (the average from 3 attempts was 251ms).
- Across 9 visible subnets.
- This doesn't show the protected network after hop17 to hop 21
- Then at hop 21 (134.7.179.53), this is the public IP for the destination server.

This is not really anything new for me, but glad to do the exercise all the same.

Less hops, doesn't have to travel from the US to Australia, the 406ms at the beginning is because I am on a train doing this with an Optus wireless broadband connection, so that explains the first long hop.
