A conformant TELNET client implementation can (and maybe even will) send IAC commands over the link, which will confuse HTTP and SMTP, and quite possibly mildly surprise non-conformant FTP.I'd suggest you use `nc` instead of `telnet` to avoid this risk.
nc works of course, but every telnet client I know of disables option negotiation if you specify a port number other than 23.
