        !             9: is used to communicate with another host using the TELNET protocol.  If 
        !            10: .I telnet
        !            11: is invoked without arguments, it enters command mode,
        !            12: indicated by its prompt (\*(lqtelnet>\*(rq).
        !            13: In this mode, it accepts and executes the commands listed below.
        !            14: If it is invoked with arguments, it performs an
        !            15: .I open
        !            16: command (see below) with those arguments.
        !            17: .PP
        !            18: Once a connection has been opened,
        !            19: .I telnet
        !            20: enters input mode.
        !            21: In this mode, text typed is sent to the remote host, and output
        !            22: from the remote host is displayed. To issue 
        !            23: .I telnet 
        !            24: commands when in input mode, precede them with the

        !            35: Open a connection to the named host.  If the no port number
        !            36: is specified, 
        !            37: .I telnet
        !            38: will attempt to contact a TELNET server at the default port.
        !            39: The host specification may be either a host name (see 
        !            40: .IR hosts (5))
        !            41: or an Internet address specified in the \*(lqdot notation\*(rq.

        !            80: any carriage return characters received from the remote
        !            81: host will be mapped into a carriage return and a line
        !            82: feed.  This mode does not affect those characters typed
        !            83: by the user, only those received.  This mode is not very
        !            84: useful, but is required for some hosts that like to ask
        !            85: the user to do local echoing.

        !            94: .LP
        !            95: Remote host might terminate the session if the terminal is idle
        !            96: for some time.
        !            97: .SH BUGS
        !            98: This implementation is very simple because
        !            99: .IR rlogin (1C)
        !           100: is the standard mechanism used to communicate locally 
        !           101: with hosts.
