socket troubles

[Sean Conley]

	I am connecting to a telnet site.  The reason I left the address and
port in the code is that this particular one doesn't do any telnet
arbitration, since this application will definately hang if I try to
connect to a "real" telnet server until I get the arbitration done.  So
in essence the server is somewhere on the internet, since this is going
to basically be a modified telnet client.
