I thought I had made myself perfectly clear that I understand ssh is
better than telnet. Due to circumstances way beyond my control I
*require* a telnet based solution. I've already tried to find a way
to do the same thing with ssh and it just doesn't work due to termcap
and terminfo handling. I'm working with some antique application
packages that are not ssh savvy.
