In a word: "no."  There are going to be people who run 1.0 a year from now;
people are slow to upgrade.  At that time, we'll be getting bug reports from
them, if it doesn't work right _then_.  As it is now, our telnet correctly
implements the various RFC's.  if your vendors' doesn't:
	(1) get the new version of telnet from ftp.cray.com (i think),
		and install it, because it probably works, or
	(2) bitch out your vendor, because _they're_ not conforming to the
		RFC's, and you're _paying_ them for support.
