> TIP: If you are on Linux, use alarm ping, e.g.:

> ping -a 192.168.33.123

> When your ping starts singing, it's time to telnet to the installation.

> telnet 192.168.33.123

> Be aware that it takes some time for the telnet server to get loaded and
> become available. The installation must first load its various drivers
> and this will take some time--perhaps a few minutes.
