[DGD] IAC GA

[Johan Åhlander]

I made a few small changes in comm.c to make this work, specifically
in comm_send(). First I added exceptions for IAC and GA to not be illegal
characters, then I had to remove the code that doubles(?) the IAC character.

It seems to work OK now but since I have no knowledge of how telnet works
and the reason for doubling IAC characters, I'm unsure of any "hidden"
consequences by this change.
