numbers, and place them in a file:
/etc/resolv.conf
After that Red hat should begin resolving these urls.
You would add them like:
servername 216.209.25.10
of course, replacing the number with the actual ip address.
As for getting information on telnet or ssh you would type:\
man telnet
man ssh

Question:
"This doesn't make any sense does it.  I can't do anything.  Every time I
try I go backwards.  I don't understand the the info pages because they
are so terminology ladend.  I can't find help on the things I need because
I don't know where to look. Oh, and I can only access my moem as root, not
as anther user and I can find where to change that because I don't know
what to look for."

Answer:
Anna, you may be surprised  to know this all makes sense. I suffered the
same trials with Linux, and was unsure where to look, where to go, or what
to do.  Fortunately, over time you will become skilled and will pass on the
information that I am imparting to you.
Your number one resource for help should be the Linux man pages. You can
type
man commandname
and it will give you a manual on that command.
Let us say the issue was mount. You would type:
man mount
and you could read that page using the spacebar to advance through the
document, and q to quit.
As for logging in as another user you first need to create yourself a new
user name and password, and after that you can login  as that user all the
time.
For demonstration I will assume you wanted the name anna as your username.
So as root you would type:
adduser anna
Now, you have a user nnamed anna, but no password. So will we set a password
for anna by typing:
passwd anna
and it will prompt you to enter a password.
Now, you can type logout, and login as anna.
