I've gone ahead and implemented this change to Mongoose because
without it the SSH connection can suffer a badly formed packet and
hang due to running out of dynamic memory.

I have completed and committed the changes for the Telnet and SSH
consoles to no longer create any tasks of their own but instead to run
as part of the NetManTask.  When there is no connection, this only
saves about 1KB because I needed to bump up the stack size for the
NetManTask to avoid overflow with the additional complexity of
executing the console command code.  However, when an SSH connection
is established, the reduction in RAM using is about 7KB.
