        !             9: .I Gaptelnet
        !            10: is used to create a virtual terminal session
        !            11: with another host using the XNS Gateway Access Protocol,
        !            12: version 3.
        !            13: Thus, it can be used to communicate with a Xerox server running Services
        !            14: 8.0, with an XDE workstation running RemoteExec.bcd, with a Xerox ITS, 
        !            15: with a Berkeley UNIX system running GAP3d,
        !            16: etc.

        !            23: If it is invoked with arguments, it performs an
        !            24: .I open

        !            29: enters input mode.
        !            30: In this mode, text typed is sent to the remote host.

        !            48: executive'', and ``its'' (for interactive terminal service).
        !            49: The host specification may be either a host name (e.g.
