Description
hw_connect() attempts to connect to the Hyperwave
server on the host and port given by the host and port
parameters. If you want to connect as a given user, you
must supply the username and
password parameters as well.
If you pass username and password as empty strings, you're
connected as the user anonymous; however, you
can omit these and still connect much like an anonymous
user, except that the username is reported as
'---' by functions such as hw_who() .
In the default case, the Hyperwave server listens on port
418.
username and password are sent in plain text (not
encrypted).
