My original description was ambiguous. The development machine, on which I
want to run tests through the browser, is the host of the virtual machine
supporting the server. One box to rule them all.

That variant of telnet seems slightly different than the one I just had to
install, -n signifies "create the tracefile", and used the address as the
filename.

"telnet 10.0.2.15 80" produced

Trying 10.0.2.15...
telnet: connect to address 10.0.2.15: No route to host

BTW, how does telnet decide which interface to use? The host machine has a
wireless interface and a wired one, (plus localhost, of course).
