That's definitely going to be a problem.
To the OP:
You claim to be writing a telnet server, yet I don't see any
code that actually implements the telnet protocol. Different
telnet clients default to different modes, so if you want them
in a certain mode, you have to put them in the desired mode by
implementing the telnet feature negotiation protocol.
