conserver.cf: raw vs telnet

In conserver.cf, if you say:

	console myhost { type host; host mycisco; port 2001; }				# 1

It will connect using the telnet protocol (by default), as will (explicitly)

	console myhost { type host; host mycisco; port 2001; protocol telnet; }		# 2

However, if you say:

	default mycisco { type host; host mycisco; }						# 3
	console myhost { include mycisco; port 2001; }

It will connect using a raw protocol.

If you say:

	default mycisco { type host; host mycisco; protocol telnet; }			# 4
	console myhost { include mycisco; port 2001; }

It will *still* connect using a raw protocol, even though you explicitly specify telnet.

If you say:

	default mycisco { type host; host mycisco; }						# 5
	console myhost { include mycisco; port 2001; protocol telnet; }

You will get a parse error.

The instance marked # 4 is a bug, and arguably, the instances marked # 3 and # 5 are too.
