   But isnt in telnet binary mode, 0xFF needs to be received twice consectively   
   before the other end should interpret what should follow?   
      
   I must admit I havent read the finer details of how things are parsed when in   
   it goes in this mode - but I assumed this mode assisted binary file transfers   
   that are likely to have those special control chars that would normally be   
   intepreted as IAC commands.
