But isnt in telnet binary mode, 0xFF needs to be received twice consectively
before the other end should interpret what should follow?

I must admit I havent read the finer details of how things are parsed when in
it goes in this mode - but I assumed this mode assisted binary file transfers
that are likely to have those special control chars that would normally be
intepreted as IAC commands.
