What is available on VCN Telnet

VCN's Telnet site is basically the old VCN website that has not been used since 2002. However, there are still a few basic services on the telnet site, and a few VCN services that are not accessible any other place.

Basically, the first four options, (1)About Us, (2)Community Pages, (3)Community Events, and (4)What's New, are all from that old site and are no longer supported. (5)Email and (6)Discussions are still available, and some parts of (8)Other - File System
