When I first wrote TCPPORT, I supported incomming connections.
Of course I hadn't gotten around to adding TELNET options at that point.
Not the options you pick, the options the computers negotiate.  I think
you would have to make a new version of the program to correctly handle
those options.  

I think my TELNETD program reduces dependancy on PCA and supporting it
though that grotesque int 14 interface.
