Why is it that when I am using a telnet session, ^O does not get
transmitted to the remote site?  (I also tried telnetting to localhost,
I get the same behavior.)  When using rlogin it works just fine.  

To be more specific, when I am using emacs at my local site, ^O will
not insert lines when I am connected via telnet, but will when I am
connected via rlogin.

I can find nothing in the man pages to explain this.  I am using
FreeBSD-1.1.5.1.
