Create tests

I'd like to help you build tests. Honestly. Are you ok with pexpect() driving bsd telnet?

I've extended python's telnet client some, but testing the complex tree of telnet negotiations requires a more capable client, and I haven't yet wanted to complete python's interface.

-- on a side note, about e-mail, --

I tried to write you an e-mail, but it bounces because mine is like yours, with a single domain name (yours is lastname dot com, mine is firstname + lastname.com): host refused to talk to me: 504 5.5.2 : Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname.

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you. I'd prefer the tests not rely on
telnet, but maybe that would be fastest to implement.

Ian.

You're probably right. I'm nearly complete with a telnet client and server protocol implementation that uses the newest "tulip" module, https://github.com/jquast/telnetlib3, but it requires python 3.3.

So far only the server is complete, but it is almost on-par with capabilities as the BSD C telnet server. This should let us write pure python tests -- but would require python 3.3 ... :-) ah well
