Yes, that's a big problem. The developers seem to develop telnet as a human-interface, only. Minor changes won't disturb the users, but software which has to know exactly what it shall submit... e.g. phpEselGui

No, it's not! There's the gui-protocol. Most other mldonkey-guis use it, here i found some information about it:

and also: "The GuiProtocol is briefly described in the interface_protocol.txt in the source distribution of mldonkey."
