Notes

In order to log into a UNIX account remotely, you need to have access to telnet. If you aren't familiar with telnet, here's a primer, including some links for downloading an application. Make sure you can figure out how to copy text from your telnet session, because that's what you'll need to do in order to submit your projects for this class. On most telnet applications you can simply highlight the text with your mouse and copy/paste it into another program, but on some applications you'll have to mess with the menu options.

Project Submission

In order to submit your project, you will need to be able to copy the command results from your telnet session. You can either copy the entire session or just the relevent parts. Email the text from your telnet session, along with any other information requested, to unix@iteachu.com by the deadline date in the schedule.
