Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Telnet
a program that allows a user to log onto a remote server or host. For ex-ample, if you were away from home, and connecting to your ISP required a long distance call, you could use telnet to connect and avoid the charges. You would need a user name and password and would have access to services nor-mally offered by your home ISP such as email.
