sh Script to telnet

[Ross Martin]

Telnetting to a port other than 23 is grounds for firing?!?!?  That's 
ridiculous!

So if you write a program that sends email, or write code that talks 
directly to
a printer, or write your own data transfer software, or make your own web
cgi-bin script, you're fired?  I pity the person that works there!

That's like these people who were trying to outlaw point-to-point 
networking.  
Can you say *telephone*?
