Once your telnet client connects, hit the escape sequence (typically
Control-] ). At the prompt, type 'mode line' to put your client in
line mode.

I don't think it's mentioned anywhere. Perhaps a useful addition to
the HOWTO?
Incidentally, I had a play with the telnetd server and line mode, some
time ago, but found that the line mode option wasn't compiled in. (a
pre-compiled binary...) I never got round to getting the sources, but
I reckon it would be worth a try to get the daemon to default to line
mode as well, for the reasons you mentioned. Anyway, have a look at
'man telnetd' and look for the -k option (from memory).
Hope this helps...
