The standard implementation of the TELNET client only uses TELNET protocol
to port 23. When instructed to use another port it uses raw TCP.


My Linux telnet doesn't. It uses Telnet protocol even if going to another port, and I don't see a requirement in the Telnet RFC that says you must do otherwise.

Or is this the Windows telnet client? In that case, all bets are off :-).
