Ok, I've implemented some minimal parsing for socket type and address (i.e.
it should be more flexible and tolerant of user errors):

display-tele:inet:127.0.0.1:27780
display-tele:inet:hostname[:port]
display-tele:unix:full-path-to-unix-socket

Note that I haven't fixed the teleserver part (I love the target more :-)
so anything outside the previous limit won't connect...

and I don't have a networked Unix machine to try out the remote
teleserver...

Just keeping you informed... :)

PS: Andrew, before you forgot to put the port number into network byte
order!  (Teleserver would connect to the 3xxxx ports instead.)
