That is not a property of telnet, rather one of the strto* family of
library functions, eg. strtoul. Taken from the manual page:
...
optional `+' or `-' sign. If base is zero or 16, the
string may then include a `0x' prefix, and the number will
be read in base 16; otherwise, a zero base is taken as 10
(decimal) unless the next character is `0', in which case
it is taken as 8 (octal).
