Well, the python test script was supposed to enable the net tool (and
others) by default, by sending it in the handshake string. Unfortunately I
just found the bug that was causing that to fail, which means I doubt it
will be working for you at the moment. (sorry)

Are you using a crossfire version from SVN? if so, I guess it should be
fixed shortly, otherwise I guess you can wait until 0.3a7.
