Re: [MacPerl] Net-Telnet 3.01 module...

I'm running FreePPP under MacOS 7.6 - probably two points of difference
from Dick's setup. The module fires up FreePPP which then logs onto the
account; it would seem that the login() portion of  Net::Telnet is
superfluous in my setup. To keep my sysadmin happy, and my account current,
there's only a limited amount of testing I can do of this module.

Looks like I'm using neither - I get a FreePPP window ...
and then a perl # timeout error from the script.

When the test file provided doesn't actually test the module, I don't have
a lot of other options but refer it to the module author.
