  Take ssh, for instance.  If I'm logged in locally as
"steve" and then try to 
$ ssh twovoyagers.com
then ssh automatically attempts to log me in under
user name "steve" at twovoyagers.com.  I must instead
$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  Perhaps there's a telnet client which exhibits the same
behavior.
