FOr a while I was using the following shellscript as a replacement 
to the crossfire 'client':

#!/bin/sh
echo "add $DISPLAY" | telnet "$*" 13326

The sad part was that this actually worked. Usage was 'crossclient hostnme'
It, of course, assumed your DISPLAY was set properly, and you had no X
security on your display.
