[Bug 2008789] Re: [MIR] inetutils

[Seth Arnold]

Please, lets drop telnet from main rather than bring in rexecd, rcp,
rsh, rshd, rlogin, tftp, tftpd, inetd, whois, talkd, talk, etc. A single
telnet client is one thing; a dozen tools, many servers ,is entirely
something else.

nc -t claims to support some portion of the telnet protocol:

     -t      Send RFC 854 DON'T and WON'T responses to RFC 854 DO
             and WILL requests.  This makes it possible to use nc to
             script telnet sessions.

Would this be sufficient?

Thanks
