Although I thought it was general. It certainly seems a good idea to me.
Arrgh! No! I mustn't praise Microsoft!

My Linux telnet doesn't. It uses Telnet protocol even if going to 
another port, and I don't see a requirement in the Telnet RFC that says 
you must do otherwise.

Or is this the Windows telnet client? In that case, all bets are off :-).
