P.S.
Do NOT implement EITHER a telnet server OR client UNLESS you are committed
to a FULL telnet protocol implementation. There are far too many things
out there already that CALL themselves telnet that do NOT talk real telnet
protocol.
(Like, 95% of all Win95 "telnet" programs.)
(Kin you tell I been through this frustration? This is what killed my
first cold windowing project.)
