This is a very simple telnet client I hacked together
because I needed a telnet client usable from the shell.

It probably contains some bugs but none that I have
noticed so far. The latest version also adds support
for starting from workbench and shrinks the binary
a bit.

I think it might be useful even if AmTelnet is almost
certainly a more feature-complete implementation.

The following telnet options are (somewhat) implemented:

ECHO
SGA
BINARY
TTYPE
NAWS
NEW_ENVIRON
LINEMODE

The command template is simply:

telnet <host> [port]

If port is omitted, it will default to port 23.

Version 0.7 brings with it the following improvements:

   * Fixed a bug with project icons.
     (As usual, I noticed the bug 2 hours after I released 0.6)
