Why on earth would we want to embed any of this in the game?
This isn't the sort of thing that the game should be concerned
about.  I certainly don't want the game overriding my stty settings
and deciding for me what the flow control or kill keys are.  Equally
it is not for the game to handle line editing.  That is all client
end stuff.

I have set up, although not advertised except to WWX who has been
having problems, that the user 'ugly' password 'ugly' is connectable
to via ssh, and does a telnet -E to connect to the game.  This
could be improved on, but I didn't have the inclination to spend
time on sorting out a decent mud client with no shell escapes.
