What I finally did to make it work was to find where Windows put the Telnet
executable (it was in a very weird place) and copy that to the EXEC directory
of SBBS. THEN it worked. It's that it didn't work, it's that Windows couldn't
find it. So it's probably how Windows does things with the paths. I could have
probably put it in c:\windows\system32 and it would have probably worked. 

Something to remember in the future.
