Thanks, Thomas,  for your information about TELNET Option negotiation. I
didn't know about that at all.

By the way, reviewing my response to Jon Jacob's original post, I found
that my addtion to his code was essentially unnecessary for the server's
goal. I added those lines because Jon's post reminded me that I once had
needed to handle the telnet negotiation string when I wrote MY server
script (accepting login messages from telnet etc). I just copied it from my
script. But, now I found what I put in Jon's code was unnecessary, even
nonsense. I'm embarrased and am sorry for giving confusion.

Removing my lines from the script, I confirmed that Jon's orginal server
code runs OK on my Mac, as well as my NCSA telnet can work with the server
correctly. So, it seems -- no problem.
