[Dx4win] Using Telnet

[Paul Ferguson]

In addition to having RTTY set to Type=Regular and Port=TCP/IP, I have Packet 1 
Cluster Interface set to Type=Regular and Port=TCP/IP. For this setup you can 
go to the RTTY Window and request Internet connection, and spots will be 
filtered in the DX spots window.

Now that I know there is another way to do it, I will get rid of the RTTY 
window and activate the Internet Connection through the Packet window.
