[Skimmertalk] Making telnet available

[Pete Smith]

Hi Wes et al - I just watched my telnet address for a few weeks and 
determined that it was not changing.  Then I set up my firewall to 
forward the Telnet port to the outside world.  For example, if your 
internal Skimmer telnet address is 127.0.0.1 port 7300, you need to 
configure your firewall to forward that to your external IP address, 
port 7300.  I can't be more specific, because every firewall I have 
worked with - admittedly not very many - has done this differently.
