	In my PC implementation, the Telnet receive code first scans a receive
	buffer for the IAC character using the memchr() C library routine. This
	is a fast binary search routine implemented in assembler; it is
	          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nooo, binary search works on ordered lists, you don't sort the buffer first
do you? :-)
	analogous to the strchr() (aka index) routine for ascii strings.
