On 12:05 AM 7/29/98 +0000, I personally witnessed Scatter jumping up to say:

I've harped about this several times to client authors. It seems that it is
entirely possible for a telnet session to be run without ever sending or
receiving a single IAC character, on both ends -- and in fact, my own
chosen client (MUSHClient) used to hang completely on receipt of an IAC.
While it doesn't 'support' telnet sequences, at least now it recognises
them and responds appropriately according to the RFC (by refusing to do
anything).
As far as I'm concerned, a telnet client should at LEAST support the
fundamental RFC by understanding IAC CAN/CAN'T WILL/WON'T negotiation.
MUSHClient does, now. That's good enough for me... because any telnet
*server* should be able to deal with a client that can't do anything fancy,
and if it isn't... that's the server's fault. :)
And besides, MUSHClient is JavaScript-capable. It's ever so handy being
able to run MUD sessions using a real scripting language instead of some
proprietary thing... although it will do VBScript, too, if you like that
sort of thing. ;)
