The commands are used in building clients that talk the protocol.
The options are useful for building servers.
You are not guaranteed to have an "extern char *telopts" in a program
that uses arpa/telnet.h, but you *will* be using the commands to
communicate over the link for anything that includes it.
Hint: look at the telnet and ftp client programs to see if you can find
a usage of "telopts".
