Re: prompt_hook

I have some of the TERMTYPE handling in.  It's the IAC SB ... SE
stuff--I'm not sure how that gets handled by the telnetlib.  The docs on
the python.org site seem to indicate that it will get passed into the
negotiate function, but I'm not really following how, yet.

I haven't really spent much time on it yet, either.

[Suddenly it occurs to me that MCCP uses IAC SB ... SE stuff...  so it's
probably in the code already.  ...  A quick check and voilla!  It is!]

Give me another day or two to find time to finish implementing TERMTYPE
and some of the other things I had in the old net module.

I was talking to the folks at cryosphere.  If you log into their mud and
then type ...  mmm...  I forget the command.  Anyhow, their mud is _ULTRA_
anal about proper terminal emulation etiquette to the point where Abigail
wrote up a big table of all the mud clients and all their failings:

   http://cryosphere.net/telnet

Anyhow, there's a command on their mud that goes through and tests all
kinds of stuff.  I think they use IAC+GA or EOR.  I forget pretty much all
of the specificas--I did that work a year or two ago and I don't seem to
have written it down anywhere.  (This would be good specification material
for the wiki.)

I've never implemented any AYT code.

Prompt detection in Lyntin is dicey (as I recall).  I'd really love to get
something that works on all muds once it's been configured.  And then
having that prompt set in the ini file--that'd be fantastic.
