Not that it matters, since you *did* manage to get there, but just so folks
are less mystified:
The keve.kli.org machine is the same as kli.org, and the same as
www.kli.org, and as ftp.kli.org. Currently they're all the same machine,
just with different names so as to be consistent, and so that if someday we
get more than one machine we can split the jobs up among them and not have
to distribute new addresses. That machine is emlee.kli.org, aka
emlee.lupine.org. Lupine.org is the consulting company of our kindly
sysadmin and listadmin, Jay (whom you've seen as WW here). telnet is a
program that just connects you to a port on the other machine. By default,
it connects you to port 23, where most machines have a login server running
and expect you to give a name and a password. The KLI machine is running
the MUSH, which listens at port 2218. You have to get your telnet to
connect to 2218 to reach the MUSH.
