Some Network applications

1. netscape  **USE**--( {Iin X terminal} Run netscape (requires a separate Netscape installation}, The current versions of  Netscape {4.x} are known to be big and buggy. They occasionally crash by vanishing {means no other harm done}, Also when we not connected to the network , Netscape likes to refuse to-do anything (looks like it hanged),it revives when you connects. ),
2. netscape -display host:0.0   **USE**--( {In X terminal} Run netscape on the current machine & direct the output to machine named "host" display 0 screen 0, Your current machine must have a permission to display on the machine 'host' (Typically given by executing the command <xhost current_machine_name >in the xterminal of the machine host, Other X-windows program can be run remotely the same way. ),
3. lynx file.html   **USE**--( View an html file / browse the net from the text mode.),
4. pine   **USE**--(  A good text-mode mail reader, Another good & standard one is <elm>, Your Netscape mail will read the mail from your Internet account, pine will let you read the 'local' mail, e.g.  a cron process sends to you from a computer on your home network. The command mail could also be used for reading/composing mail, but it would be inconvenient it is meant to be used in scripts for automation.). 
5. elm    **USE**--( A good text-mode mail reader. See the previous command also. ),
6. mutt   **USE**--( This is  really a basic but extremally useful & fast mail reader. ),
7. mail    **USE**--(  A basic {OS}operating system tool for Email, Look at the previous commands for a better e-mail reader, Mail is good if you wanted to send an e-mail from a shell script. ),
8. licq   **USE**--( {In X term} An icq 'Instant messaging' client, Another good one is kxicq, Older distributions do not have an icq client installed, you have to do download one and install it. ),
9. talk username1  **USE**--( We can talk to another user currently logged on your machine (or use "talk username1@machinename" to talk to a user on a different computer) , To accept the invitation to the conversation, type the command "talk username2", If somebody is trying to talk to you & it disrupts your work, you may use the command "mesg n" to refuse accepting messages, You may want to use "who" or "rwho" to determine the users who are currently logged in. ),
10. mc   **USE**--( Launch the "Midnight Commande" file manager {Its like "Norton Commander" for Linux}.),
11. telnet server  **USE**--( We can Connect to another machine using the TELNET protocol, We can use a remote machine name or IP address, You will be prompted for your login name & password you must have an account on the remote machine to login, Telnet will connect you to another machine & let you operate on it as if you were sitting at its keyboard, Telnet is not very secure everything you type goes in open text, even your password also), 
12. rlogin server   **USE**--( {=remote login} Connect to another machine, The login name--password from your current session is used, If it fails you are prompted for a password.), 
13. rsh server   **USE**--( {=remote shel} This is  another way to connect to a remote machine, The login name-password from your current session is used; If it fails you are prompted for a password.),
14. ftp server  **USE**--( Ftp another machine. (There is also ncftp which adds extra features & gftp for GUI }, Ftp is good for copying files from a remote machine, Try user "anonymous" if you do not have an account on the remote server, After connection, use "?" to see the list of available ftp commands,  The essential ftp command are <ls> {to see the files on the remote system}, ASCII, binary (set the file transfer mode to either text or binary, important that you select the proper one ), get (copy a file from the remote system to the local system), mget (get many files at once), put (copy a file from the local system to the remote system), mput (put many files at once), bye (disconnect). For automation in a script, you may want to use ncftpput and ncftpget, for example: -ncftpput -u my_user_name -p my_password -a remote.host.domain remote_dir *local.html ),
15. minicom   **USE**--( Minicom program {looks like "Procomm for Linux"}.,
