  • Telnet gateway not compatible with nethack.alt.org

    No output when using the Synchronet telnet gateway to connect to nethack.alt.org, though it works fine with other Telnet clients.

    '$ nc nethack.alt.org 23' doesn't work either - and that's a big clue.

    `sbbs_t::telnet_gate()` needs to grow a Telnet "proxy" capability.

    This should also address Nelgin's concerns about connecting to `freechess.org` using Synchronet telnet gateway support. The Telnet gateway works pretty well when the client is a Telnet client (i.e. instead of SSH, RLogin, or raw TCP client) and the Telnet server doesn't really require a positive acknowledgement to all the Telnet commands it sends (Telnet client won't acknowledge a mode it's already in).
