connect
NAME
connect - initiate a tcp connection
SYNOPSIS
varargs void connect(string ipnumber, int port, string protocol)
DESCRIPTION
Initiate a telnet or tcp connection to the specified host and port,
and associate the connection with this object when it is established.
The protocol may be "telnet" or "tcp", or it may be omitted to
default to "tcp".
When the connection succeeds, open() will
be called in obj. If it
fails or times out, close() will be called
in obj. After the
connection is established, obj will be a
normal user object.
ERRORS
An error will result if the object was already has a connection,
port, or editor associated with it.
If the number of existing port and connection objects is equal
to the value of status()[ST_UTABSIZE],
calling connect() results in an error.
