I found that in the BSD telnetd most of the "send" commands don't work
correctly.  RFC 854 says that "send break" performs the same sort of
function as the <BREAK> key in an asynch universe.  Yet the telnetd does
the function by stuffing the QUIT character down the PTY.  This isn't
right by a long shot.
