[OZAPRS] Telnet vs Socket for APRS server connection

[Mark Jessop]

For APRS-IS connections, I don't think it will make any difference what you
use. I'm fairly sure APRS-IS servers won't send any telnet control
information, so if you use a telnet library, it'll just be acting like a
regular socket connection.

I just use a basic socket connection when I connect to it (Python):
