In the Atari Ka9q there is an "echo" command which takes either 
"accept" or "refuse" as an argument. Telnet is normally line buffered 
so the likes of Lynx servers will not work unless you go to the other 
mode which sends the characters as they are typed. Is there an 
equivilent and have I understood you correctly?
