- The only thing that's legal there is a valid newsgroup name or the special

- You should be able to use "telnet host.domain.top ###". As shipped, UCX V1.3
- has a bug where this won't work unless you specify the host by IP address. (In
- actuality, it's a bit more complicated). This is fixed by CSCPAT #903, avail-
- able from finer Customer Support Centers 8-).
