The telnet port of DGD will filter out escape characters,
I don't know the exact range, but I guess all < 32.
If you want to use them you either have to patch DGD
(I can't remember the patch off hand, but I remember it
was a one-liner so it can't be too hard, it's in the
mailinglist archives, though) or use the binary port.
