You know about the basics of networking I assume, you know that you are able 
to set up various servers such as telnet, sentmail, ftp, pop3 and so on, same 
for SQL that you can access over net. So SQL as KIOslave is quite logical for 
me it only fills a gap and I can easily and query my Universities database.

Can you get a directory listning with telnet:// application:// fonts:// ? can 
you copy files to telnet:// w/o any protocols such as kermit, z, y, hydra ?

Luckely I'm *brainy* enough to decide on my own wether it's user-unfriendly or 
not and I was really happy *footkissing* to that guy for creating that 
KIOslaves because I exactly needed that tool exactly that day.
