  Basically what you'd need to do to make something like this happen is to
put the telnet connection into character mode instead of line mode.  I
would expect DGD's telnet handling to get confused by this (I haven't
tried it, but it seems likely if it hasn't been tested in this mode) and
you'd need to patch DGD for it to even let the (high-ascii) characters
requesting the mode-change through.

  Something you *could* do, especially now that DGD supports multiple
binary ports, would be to write a more complex telnet handler in LPC, one
that supports character-mode (and maybe things like screen resize, while
we're at it), and write your own interface to *that*.
  That's quite a lot of work, though.
