[net.unix-wizards] User Telnet doesn't do netascii properly

lwa%mit-csr@sri-unix.UUCP (11/23/83)

Index:    /usr/src/ucb/telnet.c 4.2BSD

Description:
          User Telnet does not properly perform the netascii conversion on
          data being transmitted.  In particular, it sends the carriage
          return character alone without a following newline.  The consensus
          among the Telnet implementers (including Jon Postel) is that
          <CR> should always be followed by <LF>.  The result of this omission
          is that certain hosts drop the first character typed after a <CR>.
Repeat-By:
          Try telnetting to a host whose server Telnet is known to ignore the
          next character sent after a <CR>.
Fix:
          In the routine telnet(), after the lines:

                              if (c == IAC)
                                        *nfrontp++ = c;
                              *nfrontp++ = c;

          add the two lines:

                              if (c == '\r')
                                        *nfrontp++ = '\n';
