- What kinds of problems were those? I've never had any trouble of this sort.

- The various "start" commands are for starting up the servers that handle
- incoming connection attempts. When you say "telnet blah" you're invoking
- the telnet client to make an outgoing connection. The two are independent
- and will have no effect on each other (unless of course, you're trying
- to telnet to yourself...).
-
- The bug that John refers to is mentioned in the ReadMe that accompanies
- the n890421 package. Oddly enough, it seems to be based on the same code
- that my port was based on, but includes support for many more protocols.
- Doesn't seem to do SLFP or PPP though.
