Sigh. Quoting RFC 857:
IAC DON'T ECHO
The sender of this command DEMANDS the receiver of this command
stop, or not start, echoing data characters it receives over the
TELNET connection.
In other words, having the server send the client IAC DONT ECHO tells
the client not to echo, back to the server, characters it receives
from the sender. But, of course, the client is already in that state.
