Unfortunately he seems to be talking about a different version than the
one you may be familiar with.

What kinds of problems were those? I've never had any trouble of this sort.
(Hm. How much RAM in your setup?)

The various "start" commands are for starting up the servers that handle
incoming connection attempts. When you say "telnet blah" you're invoking
the telnet client to make an outgoing connection. The two are independent
and will have no effect on each other (unless of course, you're trying
to telnet to yourself...).

The bug that John refers to is mentioned in the ReadMe that accompanies
the n890421 package. Oddly enough, it seems to be based on the same code
that my port was based on, but includes support for many more protocols.
Doesn't seem to do SLFP or PPP though.
