Sigh; another telnet wannabe.  :-/

The way something like this is often used is to set up the server so
that it's bound to 127.0.0.1, and then use ssh to access the server
system and invoke the client.  That dodge fixes the security problem.

That aside, this sounds like it's related to conserver
(http://conserver.com/).  Do we have anyone working on that?

It'd be really nice to see these two things integrated together and
delivered on Solaris.
