You can use the telnet application on your computer to connect to your Unix account. If you use a Unix terminal or workstation, you can usually enter your user id and password on the opening screen to gain access.Here is how I accessed my account on the miller.cs.uwm.edu machine by entering this URL in my Web browser:
telnet://miller.cs.uwm.edu
