Apparently "telnet keve.kli.org 2218" is NOT correct for his system.
Depending on the details of the telnet program, one might be required
to put a "-p" before the port number, or to give the site name and
port number in response to prompts, or something else entirely. In
a GUI environment like Windows or a Macintosh, the port number might
have to be given in a setup dialog.
The important thing here is that "keve.kli.org" is the name of the
system with the MUSH server, and "2218" is the telnet port number.
You need to tell your telnet program these two things somehow.
