Right. And it works with telnetd 1.12.
But still: telnetd should start negotiating the 8 bit data path as
it did before revision 1.12. I hate to lose this feature in favour
of a workaround for a deficiency in Microsoft's telnet.
And I suspect FreeBSD-{questions|bugs} will be less fun to read if
this revision should ever make it to a release.
