[Coco] Telnetting to Coco

[Bill Pierce]

Luis,
I've never actually used the telnet feature of dw4. So I'll leave that to someone who has. I just know about direct dw4 communication. I hope to be digging into the whole telnet ball of string soon.

The only docs I know are here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/drivewireserver/index.php?title=DriveWire_Specification

I would like to see a real example of how to use the os-9 telnet command to
connect my linux machine directly from the os-9, like:

OS9> telnet 192.124.2.18 23

How to do it ? What commands should I set ? Suposing I have all networks
descriptors N,N1, N2 ? I can't find it in the docs.
