I will do it myself if it doesn't already exist.
I think I will add a parameter (like "noprompt")
to the 3215 definition to say "notelnet". Does
that sound reasonable?

I want PDOS/390 to drive an EBCDIC ANSI
terminal so that I can run micro-emacs. It is
already doing this, but I had to hack the 1052
definition to make it work (to be character
mode instead of line-buffered).

Now I wish to use PDOS/386, running my
simple "pdpser" application that writes to
COM1, to be used as the ANSI terminal.
But it failed to connect to Hercules, because
no-one is doing the telnet negotiation. So I
wish to switch off the telnet requirement
and effectively have PDOS/390 driving a
serial port that has an attached EBCDIC
ANSI terminal.

I thought qemu (for PDOS/386) was able to
present a serial port connected using telnet
instead of raw tcp/ip, but it didn't seem to
work when I tried it.
