I've completed a `first cut' at a telnet class.  This is not a replacement for 
telnetlib.py, but could serve as a base class for it. See:
  http://www.clove.com/downloads
 
telnetnvt.py is a python module which implements:Download telnetnvt.py 
         RFC 854 - basic Telnet Protocol 
         RFC 856 - Telnet Binary Transmission 
         RFC 857 - Telnet Echo 
         RFC 858 - Suppress Go Ahead 
         RFC1372 - Flow Control 

     It is not (yet) a replacement for telnetlib.py which is included in the 
Python 1.5 distribution. The
     differences are:

         telnetlib.py does not implement options - telnetnvt.py does and 
provides a method to add additional
         options - either directly or by subclassing 
         telnetlib.py does not require threads, whereas telnetnvt.py currently 
does. This will be fixed RSN
