+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This mode is intended to be used for telnet or rsh to a remode host;
+;; `telnet' and `rsh' are the two entry points. Multiple telnet or rsh
+;; sessions are supported.
+;;
+;; Normally, input is sent to the remote telnet/rsh line-by-line, as you
+;; type RET or LFD. C-c C-c sends a C-c to the remote immediately;
+;; C-c C-z sends C-z immediately. C-c C-q followed by any character
+;; sends that character immediately.
+;;
+;; All RET characters are filtered out of the output coming back from the
+;; remote system. The mode tries to do other useful translations based
+;; on what it sees coming back from the other system before the password
+;; query. It knows about UNIX, ITS, TOPS-20 and Explorer systems.
+
+;;; Code:
-;;to do fix software types for lispm:
-;;to eval current expression. Also to try to send escape keys correctly.
-;;essentially we'll want the rubout-handler off.
