Interesting point. Unfortunately, since the server isn't going to echo
back the chars, DON'T ECHO has the same effect.

The difference between DON'T/WILL has effect if you assume, that the
server echo's back each char it receives. Then client in WILL
situation will echo, client in DON'T won't echo. But since the server
won't echo anyways, there's no difference.

You could have pointed that out without telling us we are wrong, which
isn't true.
