More likely you're just doing the terminal-type negotiation
wrong. It's pretty tricky as Internet protocols go because unlike most
of them it's not done using human-readable strings.
Not to take anything away if this is something you *want* to do to
learn how sockets work, but I wrote a pretty serviceable telnet client
about 6 months ago that I'd be happy to send to anyone that wants it.
Kevin also has it and I seem to recall seeing it on one of the archive
sites someplace.
