Okay, someone had the telnet port on mooneye doing a netcat to
port 222 on mermaid. Port 222 wasn't bound to anything on mermaid.

I've setup the Coke telnet server up on mooneye again, so people can
once again telnet externally and get charged for it. Could whoever
broke this in the first place please stand up and explain why it was
changed, and why it was left broken and untested?
