This is fixable by disabling -DLINEMODE for telnetd, this also seems to make
things feel more responsive. While it was pointed out that this will make
slower links (ppp) work slower, most folks using ppp are going to be doing so
with software that could be breaking on this, making the system unusable. I
would strongly suggest we disable -DLINEMODE as the default for the system.
Working slow is better than not working fast. We should do this for 2.0.5.
