Some of you noted from last time that there is no
character echoing
or line editing. Telnet users on Unix machines will probably have
local line editing, which makes things a wee bit nicer.
Yes, I found I did.
The standard Windows telnet client doesn't do that
by default, so you
will type but not see your characters. That's a project for a
different day.
What, fixing Windows telnet to actually conform to the spec? Yes,
that's quite a project. :-)
And lastly, if you remember, type in your OS and
machine type as a
command. It will complain about it being an invalid command, but
I'll see it in the log and I'll have a better idea of what I'm
testing against.
Actually, it complained about it being two or three "Bogus command"s
(I'm not sure what the relevant difference between the two-complaint
ones and the three-complaint ones is.)
