Next time.... (The Actual Case)

What is actually happening over in borg422.big.cube.mil:

borg422% Usage: sleep time-in-seconds

[1] Exit 1			sleep
borg422% /usr/etc/fastboot 
borg422% mail riker@big-e.uss.starfleet.mil < tractor_beam 
borg422% mail riker@big-e.uss.starfleet.mil < cutter_beam 
borg422% mail riker@big-e.uss.starfleet.mil < cutter_beam 
borg422% telnet 
telnet> open big-e.uss.startfleet.mil
network unreachable
telnet>

ST fans certainly don't like this alternate ending due to Data issuing a
command without an argument ...
