    Info about Telnet interface

    Telnet is a communication tool like a terminal, but using TCP-IP. That is
    you can use it on a network like the web. You MUST validate your local
    echo first.

    It´s possible to use Telnet with LinFBB and WinFBB
    to be used in User contacts or in Forward contacts.

    The address to use may be 189C (189C hex = 6300 decimal).

    But, it´s also possible to define another port address,
    for example if you want Telnet access to LinFBB on port 23,
    (port 23 is standard for Telnet, but 23 is also used by inetd in Linux!)
    then change the ´address´ of COM2 to 17 (hex 17 = 23 decimalt)

    Tip:
    You may put the R letter (Read only default access) which gives a read-only
    if the user is unknown or not authorized for Modem/Telnet (M Flag in EU command).

    Example of PORT.SYS for LinFBB

    Standard PORT.SYS with 1 TNC (COM1) with WA8DED-hostmode,
    4 channels, 1 channel for outgoing forward,
    and one Telnet interface listening on port 6300,
    8 channels, 1 channel for outgoing forward.

    # FBB7.00
    # File for programming of channels and TNCs.
    #
    # Ports : How many ports (COM1, COM2, Etc...)
    # TNCs : How many TNCs and modems in use. With multiplexer
    # there can be up to 4 TNCs per port.
    #

    #In WinFBB ONLY THESE interfaces are available:
    # Interface : 2 = BPQ-node (BPQ in AA4RE-mode)
    #             4 = DRSI
    #             5 = TFPCR/TFPCX interface.  Interrupt MUST be 0xFD or the same
    #                 as stated in INIT.SRV, if any..
    #             6 = Windows-driver, replaces both ESS and FBBIOS.
    #             7 = TCP/IP.  Needs WINSOCK.DLL.  Put port-address as 17.
    #                 TNC-emulation is T (see below)
    #             8 = TFWin.dll
    # BEWARE: The old interface 1 and 3 will NOT be used in WinFBB.  Interface 6
    #         replaces both.  (FBBCOMM.DRV).  Neither ESS nor FBBIOS can be
    #         used with WinFBB !
    #
    #In LinFBB ONLY this interface is available:
    # Interface   9 = Linux.  Can work via serial port (D),via AX25 domain
    #                 socket (X) or via Telnet port (T).
    #
    #In DosFBB ONLY THESE interfaces are available:
    # Interface : 1 = Use external COMBIOS-driver (MBBIOS, ESS etc)
    #             2 = BPQ-node v 4.05 and up (BPQ in AA4RE-mode)
    #             3 = Telephone-modem with FBBIOS
    #             4 = DRSI card with driver
    #             5 = TFPCR/TFPCX interface.  Interrupt MUST be 0xFD or the same
    #                 as stated in INIT.SRV, if any..

    # Address   : Address of port in hexadecimal (Needed for multiplexer).
    #             In LinFBB:
    #             Address is the device name (/dev/cua0).
    #             Be sure you have the rights to access to the device (rw-rw-rw-).
    #             When using kernel AF_AX25 socket, address is not used.
    #             When using Telnet, address is the Telnet port in Hex (Hex 17 = Telnet port 23)
    # Baud      : Ports baud rate. Ignored by BPQ, kernel AF_AX25 socket and Telnet.
