It's occurred to me that a couple of useful enhancements to TCP: would be:
1) ASCII mode. This would convert between the "network standard" CR-LF
EOL and the Amiga's NL. This would be helpful for a variety of
ASCII TCP protocols.
2) Telnet mode. This would do EOL conversions as well as provide minimal
Telnet command handling, such as rejecting option negotiations and
handling "IAC doubling".
I wonder if the undocumented features in the AmiTCP inet-handler are
something like this, given the small size of the AmiTCP telnet client.
