Many implementations of Telnet are broken in one way or another, often in the
area of echo (or other option) negotiation. A common problen is that some
refuse to allow, no remote/no local echo. Then there is the 8 bit binary
situation......

Many implementations are just copies of other broken implementations, and
so it goes on.
