[Skimmertalk] Making telnet available

[Pete Smith]

Oops - an error.  You need to find out what your computer's real 
internal IP address is - not 127.0.0.1, which is the loopback address 
used within a single computer.  For example, the real IP address of my 
Skimmer is 192.168.1.100 port 7300, which is forwarded to 24.126.38.191 
port 7300.
