All commands work exactly as if the serial interfacewere being used. Five telnet sessions may be active at any given time. Thismeans that after the fifth telnet session is established, all other telnet connec-tions will be refused until one of the current sessions is closed.AI2001SB.QXD 4/5/98 11:27 AM Page 18
