:Looking at the patch, is it safe to assume that if there's a '/' in a
:hostname, it MUST be a AF_UNIX socket? If so, wouldn't a strchr(hostp,
:'/') be better than 'hostp[0] == '/''? This way one can use relative paths
:as well, not just absolute ones.

    'maybe'.  Generaly speaking, to ensure that we do not break
    some existing use of telnet it is best to be conservative.  You
    can always do 'telnet -u relative_path'
