To access the terminal on a remote computer we now typically use SSH. But today I'm stduying the client for its predecessor protocol, TELNET, as implemented by INetUtils.
After init'ing various things (i18n, the terminal & 2 ringbuffers for it, 2 ringbuffers for networking, the TELNET protocol uploading envvars & deferring to a supporting library, stdout/stderr, & compile-time maybe the TN3270 IBM terminal, a Cray escapes table, terminal state, & prompt string) & parsing flags `telnet` ...
