System name:		medic
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.7N (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAGB-BA

What were you trying to do?

	Test a problem with the dialup telnetd, but that wasn't important.

What's wrong:

I typed 

(mhbraun@medic) ~/% telnet express                

when I meant express.dialup.mit.edu

and I got: 

...including Athena's default telnet options: "-ax"
express: Error 0

What should have happened:

I should have gotten an error that said 'no such host' or maybe 'Matt you
bonehead', not Error 0.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

telnet(1) ?
