NAME
        connect - initiate a tcp connection

SYNOPSIS
        void connect(string ipnumber, int port, varargs string protocol)


DESCRIPTION
        Initiate a telnet or tcp connection to the specified host and port,
        and associate the connection with this object when it is established.
        The protocol may be "telnet" or "tcp", or it may be omitted to
        default to "tcp".

        When the connection succeeds, open() will be called in obj.  If it
        fails or times out, close() will be called in obj.  After the
        connection is established, obj will be a normal user object.

ERRORS                                                                         
        An error will result if the object was already has a connection,
        port, or editor associated with it.
        If the number of existing port and connection objects is equal
        to the value of status()[ST_UTABSIZE], calling connect() results
        in an error.
