Well ... I did that part of the port.

There is a problem, with early releases of the server that makes using
TCP/IP connections impossible. I posted a simple fix from my university
account, which obviously never made it into the world. :-(

Here is that interim patch again:

Yup. It's the heading-on-for-infamous TCP/IP 1.2.0 bug. It bites telnets,
it bites here. Does anyone know if a fix is available yet? Something like
SSU 1.4A (?) was called a TCP/IP fix. Is this the one ?
