tname of your target. If you still don't know this important detail, please find out(11).Now, let's get on with it. This time, unlike previous tutorials, I will "learn" all over again how to do everything I describe here and walk you through the entire process of learning and using what you have learnt.Alright, let's begin.Our target outgoing mail server for today is mailgw.someone.com on port 25.First, let's telnet into that port by either typing 'telnet mailgw.someone.com 25' (without the quotes) on a standard Unix text-based system, running C:Windowstelnet.exe or your favorite telnet application and typing in mailgw.someone.com in the host field and 25 in the port field, or executing your favorite telnet application from XWindows (a graphical interface for Unix. If you're smart enough to be running some version of Unix you shouldn't have a hard time finding one. If you don't like the default telnet programs you could always go to www.linuxberg.com and grab one) and typing in the correct details (host and port).Note about VT: you might be asked to choose a terminal type during the connection process. Something with VT and some number in it... hmm...VT stands for Virtual Terminal. Since there are several types of terminals (all sorts of monitors, old printer terminals etc') you are asked to choose a terminal type (compatibility issues). VT100 should suite most people just fine.Note about shell accounts(21): if you're not running Unix and you wish to use Unix tools on Unix systems while you work, telnet to nether.net on port 23, login as newuser and get yourself a free shell account. If you'd rather user Window's tools (I use Window's stuff when I work from Windows, except certain conditions when I really NEED Unix and I don't want to reboot and boot it up. In that case, I get myself a shell account so I am able to use Unix stuff while working from Windows) go ahead (things will work faster since the tools are actually located on your m...
