Check the devmud archives - the source is there waiting for you. Since
I wanted to support a binary client as well as telnet clients, I did
that in the networking code for my variant of the devmud prototype.
Plus, you get all the telnet handling stuff as a bonus (although it
might be more than you counted on).
