Great. Except,

% telnet 64.36.3.34 9001
Trying 64.36.3.34...
telnet: connect to address 64.36.3.34: Connection refused

Looks like it's still refusing connections?

See the man page, or http://tor.eff.org/tor-manual.html

Something like "200 KB" goes in the 'what goes here', to mean 200
kilobytes per second.

No, you can't move that down. 200 is a small number really; many servers
use 1024 or more. Are connections a limited resource for you somehow?
