- What I presume you mean is access to telnet. Anyone living in
- an area near to a university can likely use the university's
- pacx system to gain telnet access. Many people do.

- It IS the other way around. Numeric dotted quads is an
- address any machine should understand. If your site can't deal
- with a dotted quad, either something is wrong, or that's one
- strange system you're using. The net runs on IP numbers.
