If what you want is the ability to connect to an arbitrary remote host/port
and send binary data fast, why is Telnet in the picture at all?  Just use
the standard system API for TCP and blast away.  Telnet is intended for
virtual terminal support, and isn't designed for bulk data transfer.  If
the widget you're hacking doesn't have a TCP API, where are you getting the
data you want to send from in the first place?
