Based on comments received, I must not have expressed myself clearly.  I meant
to suggest that the community consider adopting the ISO VTP (or a subset) to
*replace* Telnet, not to simulate ISO VTP with a bunch of Telnet options.
Since the ISO VTP is intended to provide the mechanisms to dynamically define
which user input characters trigger transmission and suspend "local" echoing,
it seems to me we should look at that solution first (i.e., before the IETF
goes off to invent a new set of Telnet options to do a similar thing).
