that's what smart quotes will look like if they're turned on in a program
that only uses standard ascii. What's happening is that you're sending out
a typeset quote and it's getting the funny bits stripped out and turned
back into a printable character.

What you need to be able to do is turn *off* smart quotes in telnet.
