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.
