That is correct. The purpose of /NO-TELNET-INIT is to allow the
Telnet NVT mode to be used for protocols that require it but whose
implementation does not support telnet negotiations.
It should not be used with services that do send Telnet negotiations
when scripting because it prevents the SET HOST command from
performing the telnet negotiations. This can result in unpredictable
behavior from the initial INPUT commands because the telnet negotiations
will be during the INPUT timeout period. The INPUT command can therefore
fail to find the data it is searching for if the timeout period expires
before the end of the telnet negotiations.
See http://www.kermit-project.org/telnet71.html for additional details
on Kermit's Telnet implementation.
