I'll take a closer gander at the code a bit later, right now I'm going to go
grab a packet sniffer and see what I can get from that..

My router/hub is not in direct eye contact with my system, but with the help of
a mirror or another person ( I used another person in this test) I can see the
lights on the front.  When Synchronet goes off and calls *telgate
myopia.ujoint.org, I have verified activity between the nodes, based on the
lights.  If I bang away at the keyboard, the lights go nuts, as though I _am_
connected to the other server, just can't see anything on my local screen!  I
tried toggling echo a few times but still can't see anything.  Hmmm...

A little later I'm gonna get a telnet server ( perhaps SBBS ) running an a Win
9x machine and see if I can connect to that.  I wouldn't think there is
anything different with telnetd under SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 from telnetd on any
other system... (refering to receiving data and sending data/echoing commands
back)

This one just stumps me... I hope it isn't going to be on of those simple
stupid things like is it plugged in or anything ....
