hw_Connect -- Opens a connection
Description
int 
hw_connect ( string host, int port [, string username, string password] )
     Opens a connection to a Hyperwave server and returns a connection
     index on success, or FALSE if the connection
     could not be made. Each of the arguments should be a quoted string,
     except for the port number. The username and
     password arguments are
     optional and can be left out. In such a case no identification with
     the server will be done. It is similar to identify as user anonymous.
     This function returns a connection
     index that is needed by other Hyperwave functions. You can have
     multiple connections open at once. Keep in mind, that the password
     is not encrypted.
