[Skimmertalk] Making telnet available

[kd4d at comcast.net]

You will also want the computer to have a "real", STATIC IP address, not one
assigned by DHCP if you have more than one computer on your network.  If you
don't understand what that is, let us know.

This would be an address on your internal network, 192.168.xxx.xxx, or 10.xxx.xxx.xxx.

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.
