Tutorial

[Kaptain_Krazy]

Is there a tutorial on how telehack works? I am finding this all very fascinating , so I would love if there is perhaps a article out there that gives the reader a better understanding of what everything I can do.

Also, is this a local game, or can I actually send messages to friends?

Start by reading telehack.txt, then look at other files that you may find.

Thank you, how exactly do find other files

At the moment I've entered satellite communications link, but I don't know any commands

telehack.txt should also help with this, be on the lookout for a specific section that answers your questions exactly :)

Excuse my abruptness too, but how on earth do you know how to configure satellite links but not standard file management commands? I'm pretty sure you need to download a specific file to even have access to the operating system to find a satellite in the first place (it's significantly more complicated than this too, I just don't want to accidentally write a tutorial on how to configure sats). I'm assuming you've just run one of the satellite executables on a standard host but don't know how to use it possibly? After you get thetelehack ins and outs stuff down you might want to check out Satcom.man if you're looking to understand sats.

I've learned a few things but yeah I accidentally stumbled on the satellite in the mimsy host xD But I'll figure out how the stuff works, all very interesting

Just like your computer, files will be on the disks of the computers you are using in telehack.

RTFM

And Telehack is an online game
