telnet the application will do such `doubling', but that's because telnet
the protocol has a special meaning for 0xff and telnet the application is
implementing the protocol. you need to do the same. if you can afford the
code space to use binary mode you should do so, as it does eliminate some
headaches (the need to cope with nvt goes away). i.e., implement at least
the minimal protocol and if possible binary.
