Telnet mode and TERM variable

[rbanffy@gmail.com]

It's Linux, running telnetd on the usual port (23). I am not familiar with the telnet protocol, and was surprised "wimodem" was entered into the TERM variable. I'll have to read up on it a bit - telnet, the client, does interfere with the stream (it's recommended to use netcat instead of telnet to debug things for that reason). The terminal is a Loewe Minitel that can also pretend to be a VT-52 and a VT-100.
