options - Enable/disable display of options

A number of different options are negotiated between the TELNET client and the TELNET server (when setting up the connection, for example). If this switch is “enabled”, these TELNET options are displayed on the screen. Options transmitted by the local client are identified as SENT, while those received by the local client are identified as RCVD.

Options are not displayed by default.
