PCjr Telnet Server Test

It's using character-at-a-time mode, which causes telnet clients to send each keystroke to the server directly, thus making line editing a server responsibility. Normal telnet connections either use a full-featured line editor on the server side or use line-at-a-time mode, in which case the client machine does the line editing. Here's what I see when I open a connection with options negotiation turned on in telnet: telnet> open 97.86.233.68 Trying 97.86.233.68... Connected to 97-86-233-68.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com.
