Can I have this url again? I'll store it on a floppy disk. Mac users
like to boast about how useless the floppy is and all, but in reality
they are quite useful for labs and libraries where USB is disabled or
is not on the machine, and writing to the machine is not allowed.

I have been in computers labs at schools and libraries. But out of the
many, the only common media was the floppy disk. Some had USB flash
drive access, while others did not.

Thanks for the tip on Putty. I hope its equilivent to the telnet for
the Mac (I am not using OSX). I use NCSA telnet (68K) and MacTelnet
(powerful, but slow, and it sometimes crashes, while NCSA never
crashes).

Perhaps the Mac users can compare Putty to the above clients.

Thanks again.
