CRs and LFs get translated when sent from the host.
Are you looking at the data on the wire, or as it comes out of the
telnet client? The telnet protocol specifies that a lone \r is
translated to CR NUL and a lone \n (which is the equivalent of both CR
and LF on most terminals) is translated to CR LF when transmitted.
See pages 11-12 of RFC 854.
