+ * This initialization causes linemode to default to a configuration

+ * This is not quite the same as the telnet client issuing a "mode

+ * preferable since some clients (like usofts) don't have the
+ * mode character command anyway and linemode breaks things.
+ * The most notable symptom of fix is that csh "set filec" operations

+ * in telnet sessions and can be used more than once on the same line.
