  • telnet_gate doesn't respond to ^} when connecting

    From Nigel Reed@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Fri Dec 17 22:22:28 2021

    When telnet_gate tried to connect to an IP and there doesn't appear to be a working service answering, the escape command doesn't work, so you cannot exit.

    If this connect be fixed for some reason, I'd like a timeout adding to telnet_gate so the connection will abort after, say, 10 seconds rather 30 or 60.

    Example:
    $ telnet fatemud.com 7004
    Trying 77.169.25.25...

    This IP is stuck trying. If I use telnet_gate then I cannot abort the connection.
