Bio/Historical Note: HyTelnet (sometimes rendered Hytelnet or HYTELNET) was an early attempt to create a universal or at least simpler interface for the various Telnet-based information resources available before the World Wide Web. It was first developed in 1990 by Peter Scott (1947-2013), then at the University of Saskatchewan Library. Using a client written by Earl Fogel, Computing Services, University of Saskatchewan, HyTelnet offered its users a primitive terminal-based GUI that allowed them to browse a directory of Telnet-based resources and then access them in a relatively standardized manner.
