  Changelog:
+ 30.08.16 - If the station the traveller just travelled to no longer exists, the player is sent back to the
+            station where he/she came from.
  30.08.16 - Attaching a travelnet box to a non-existant network of another player is possible (requested by OldCoder).
             Still requires the travelnet_attach-priv.
  05.10.14 - Added an optional abm so that the travelnet network can heal itshelf in case of loss of the savefile.
