Description of problem:
The manpage of the telnet-command shows a lot of garbage. Telnet
itself does work fine.
I tried different telnet emulators (ssh, telnet, ivt, putty) -> no
difference.

[�r]  [�x]  [host [port]] The command is used to communicate with
another host using the protocol.  If is invoked without the argu-
ment, it enters command mode, indicated by its prompt ( In this mode,
it accepts and executes the commands listed below.  If it  is
invoked  with arguments, it performs an command with those arguments.
 Specify an 8-bit data path.  This causes an attempt to nego-
tiate the option on both input and output.  Stop any character from
being recognized as an escape character.  �F forward a copy  of
the  local  credentials  to  the remote system.  �K Specify no
automatic login to the remote system.  Specify an 8-bit data path on
output.  This causes the BINARY option to be negotiated on output.  �S
tos Set the IP type-of-service (TOS) option for  the  telnet

$ man -aw telnet
/usr/kerberos/man/man1/telnet.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/telnet.1.gz

This is the kerberos telnet manpage... it has tabs at the beginning of
some lines..
