Telnet is not a 7-bit protocol. Telnet requires an 8-bit channel
to send telnet commands. What the telnet specification states is that
the host and client are not required to be 8-bit devices. That means
that if MultiNET is placing an arbitrary 7-bit restriction on their
telnet server a bug report should be filed.
The other aspect of the Telnet protocol is the Telnet BINARY Option.
When the Telnet BINARY option is negotiated in addition to disabling
the NVT CR processing an 8-bit channel is guarranteed in the negotiated
direction.
