I have seen various seemingly PD versions of TELNET, FTP etc for the
PC around. How do these work? Does my PC need to be on a network,
and if so, why? How does the actual connection to the outside world
work? Do I just dial a phone number to get me through to a node on a
network somewhere else, or is there more (or less) to it? What is
the advantage of using such a version of FTP versus using FTP on a
larger computer, then downloading using, say, KERMIT?

Please post any replies - I hope I'm not the only person who doesn't
quite know what is going on. Thanks.
