The command differs from system to system:
From the Unix command line you can issue two commands:
$ telnet
$ open hp.bccna.bc.ca
If you have set up a graphic browser to call a telnet client you can usually enter a telnet command as you would any other url.
telnet://hp.bccna.bc.ca
After connecting to 'British Columbia Community Networks Association' you can login using your BCCNA account or...login as guest (until you get your own account)
