    JC> There is no such thing as "creating a binary connection" via telnet.   
      
   Well, I'm no expert, and it may come down to "interpretation of words" as to   
   whether you "create a binary connetion" or you start a telnet session and turn   
   on "binary mode".   
      
   But https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc856 talks about Telnet Binary Transmission.   
      
   Thus, after connection, one side sends IAC DO TRANSMIT-BINARY, and the other   
   side responds IAC WILL TRANSMIT-BINARY - and the session is now 8 bit right?
