Detailed Description

Telnet admin console.

Torque supports remote access to its console. This is most useful when running a dedicated server, as you can remotely administer the game (for instance, kicking people). In the context of a MMORPG, this sort of functionality would be useful for managing a server.

There are a number of products for Tribes2 which allow remote administration via a nice GUI.

Using the Telnet Console

The TelnetConsole is designed to be used globally, so you don't instantiate it like a normal class.
