But still you won't be able to telnet to your dog to tell it to sit if you
name it "-@''%20".
The point I am trying to make is that all the tools built around the TCP/IP
suite most rightly assume that your hosts have conforming names.
And now don't say you don't telnet your dog to make it sit down;-)
Cheers,
Ingo
