[DXBase] Telnet Takeover commonality

[FireBrick]

Thanks for the info Joe.
A lack of commonality may be as informative as finding something.

And I agree that running AR User just to maintain the connection is a
Band-Aid.
AR is a nice program in itself for customizing/filtering etc.
But running two programs when one would suffice 'most of the time' seems
overkill.

Now I will use AR to feed Writelog during Contests due to it's excellent
filtering features.
That makes sense, well at least to me.
