	"Has anyone implemented terminal type subnegotiation for telnet
	under 4.2?" - Drew D. Perkins

My additions to 4.2bsd client telnet to support 3270 emulation include
a limited form of terminal type subnegotiation.  Unfortunately, since
only servers on IBM mainframes currently invite terminal type
subnegotiation, my code takes that as a hint that it should reply with
the name of some sort of 3270.  If you are uninterested in IBM
mainframes, you could change that code to return the value of $TERM.
