Sorry, no.  As even Oliver Jowett will admit, version 1 violated the
TELNET protocol.  Supporting the broken version may be easy in software
that does not use any other features of TELNET protocol, but TF does,
and integrating this broken version into TF's more complex TELNET
support is both non-trivial to implement and philosophically the Wrong
Thing To Do.  (It was in fact during my implmentation of MCCP in TF
that I discovered the violation in v1 and pointed it out to Oliver).
You should encourage your server's maintainers to upgrade to v2.
