telnet access for web page

[Ruth Hartman - Adult Services - Ventura Library System]

Thanks.  Here is our situation.  The library has no graphics capability.
We have access to the Internet through the Gateway screen of our Dynix
OPACs (dumb terminals).  We built a web page using lynx.  In order for our
patrons in the library to see our web page, we would need to link it to
the Gateway screen.  Unfortunately, the little Dear (Gateway screen) will
only link to something which has a Telnet address.

Our library system has gone from a Materials budget of almost $1 million
in 1991 to about $63,000 this year.  I have turned my attention from
print materials which I can't buy, to searching out web resources that our
patrons could use; adding them to our web page.  But at present, our
patrons in the library cannot see them.  Dynix has recently added
Internet-related products, but we can't buy them.  My question has been
asked of DYNIX_L some months ago by another member of our staff.   Any
suggestions would be welcome.
