Playing with our hosting service with telnet

We have chosen to start our hosting service with a telnet server for administration. We can telnet in and have a little play with it. Our interaction is minimal, and some of the output is large, but it's a start.

See Section  for a longer discussion of this, but this is what we're going to do. First we connect to the hosting service via telnet. You'll probably have to use your fully qualified domain name or IP address rather than just ``localhost''.

After connecting we'll get a list of commands. Then we'll have a look at hosting service's status, much of which is meaningless to anyone but the authors of the applications on the node. However, it shows broadly that things are running. Then we'll create a new hosting contract, which is an account allowing someone to run netlets on our hosting service and we'll take ``control'' of this account, meaning that we'll switch into it to see what's going on. After seeing what commands we have at our disposal, and seeing the status of that contract, we'll quit out of that contract and quit telnet.
