     Returns a connection index on success, or &false; if the connection
     could not be made.  Opens a persistent connection to a Hyperwave
     server. Each of the arguments should be a quoted string,
     except for the port number. The <parameter>username</parameter>
     and <parameter>password</parameter> 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 persistent connections open at once.</para>
