FILE
    ~\fibstn15.py

DESCRIPTION
    FIBStn15.py (C)2008 Don A. Hanlen
    I make no claims, and take no reponsibility, for use or abuse of this code!
    I require those who DO use it to cite its source!
    If this code is used for commercial purposes I expect a negotiable cut!
    
    Runs on python 1.5.2 (which is what's on OWT...) hence no .replace() (eg.)
    Handles basics of telnet communications with FIBS.com:4321
    Todo:   try/catch sequence on disconnect errors.. see comments
            ... in _putline() or getline()
            ... example error in comments at eof
                socket.error: (104, 'Connection reset by peer')
            an error could occur in connect() too
                if FIBS is offline
                if DNS is whacked

FUNCTIONS
    connect(userid, userpw, client='=US_don_DTbotsRUS!!!')
        connect to FIBS in client mode
        no handling of FIBS intro messages
    
    getline()
        return str:line from FIBS
        cr/lf's are stripped
    
    q(lineout)
        send str:lineout to FIBS, adding linefeed.
        beware of using q for variable name in code using this module!
