When using C-Kermit to connect to a service that is not using telnet
protocol, the connection should be made using a raw socket
SET HOST host port /RAW-SOCKET
/RAW-SOCKET is an example of a protocol. Another protocol that can
be used with NVT based services is /NO-TELNET-INIT which means use
Telnet protocol but do not initiate any telnet negotiations.
SET TELNET WAIT OFF is something that should be used only when
communicating with a broken Telnet Server when you do not want to
spend the time to determine which of the telnet options it implements
improperly. When SET TELNET WAIT OFF is used, telnet negotiations are
initiated which may be treated as garbage by the service.
