For the dps8 emulator, "raw" connections are used to emulator-to-emulator
connections. E.g. there is an application "IMFT" which is similar to  UUCP;
used to copy files from one system to another. "Raw" connections are used;
one system sends a CR as an end-of-line, the other system sees a CR. No NVT
translations or tampering.

(Talking out of my hat here..., I don't know what the original problem that
is trying to solved is, or have any expertise in Hercules...) If you were
going to use TCP to connect to a non-terminal device, such as some kind of
emulated 3270 controller, then raw TCP/IP would probably be preferable to
Telnet.
