What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Telnet
2. Type Text
3. Only first character of input is read

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

You expect to be able to input text until a carriage return from the 
keyboard

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.21 on Telnet from Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

I know why it's happening -- You are using recv() and with telnet, the data 
is transmitted by keystroke which means recv() is receiving the single 
character and processing it immediately not waiting for a complete input 
string, since it's receiving the input character-by-character. This error 
does not appear in WebSockets because a browser sends the entire message 
all at once. To fix it you need to cache your input buffer for telnet 
connections until a carriage return is received and then process the input.

Alternatively you could come help me work on Kusht! (^^,)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Any MOO using ANSI

ANSI codes are not parsed as you would expect them to be.

   Example:  [red]Red will become [blue]blue, will become[normal]black.
-> Output:   [red]Red will become [blue]blue, will become[normal][red]black.  
<- Last part shouldn't be red! It stays red (over several lines of text) until 
a new color code is found.
-> Expected: [red]Red will become [normal][blue]blue, will become[normal]black

I have attached a working ansi-parser writen in PHP what I have once used for a 
webclient. I hope you can put it to good use within this wonderful project!
