I think the original discussion was more concerned with the continued receipt
of data after a ^C (IAC IP).  Few operating systems will do anything about
flushing data from the transmit queue on receipt of a ^C (IAC IP) although
many will flush data from the receive queue on receipt of the ^C.  If the
intent is to stop the display of data on the local terminal, then ^O (IAC AO)
should be used.  The TELNET server should then toss the received data into
the bit bucket until a SYNC is received from the remote system.
