We commented it out because the Console doesn't use the JNodeOS APIs,
it just uses Java sockets directly.  Its one of our TODO items to
finish porting the ANTS console over to the NodeOS channel APIs.

It is commented out for the security concerns also as the commands
supported include shutdown of the node and starting new apps.  The
console should work, though, so feel free to re-enable it for
debugging purposes.
