Remember that you can can use the "C-u" prefix to ILISP or SLIME to
run the session from within either interface (just type the above
telnet command instead of the normal lisp command).

Also note that testing stuff from a telnet session can/will have a
rather infuriating 1 second delay on all CLX communication. There are
countermeasures I think, but I haven't got the expression at hand.
