   Basically, yes.  Where one program accepts the telnet and then performs   
   another telnet to another application.     
      
   The wildcard here is the second destination is running Raymond Gwinn's SIO   
   drivers (telnet emulation for serial ports).  Transfers work fine over telnet   
   if you go directly to the nodes running SIO.  It is only the "double telnet"   
   situation where the downloads don't work.   
      
   Figure it has something to do with telnet control codes/binary mode or   
   something.  The xfers will start but get lots of errors and eventually   
   terminate.
