Summary: telnetlib.Telnet does not process DATA MARK (DM)

Initial Comment:
According to RFC854, the DATA MARK (DM, character code 0xf2) is a control character of the TELNET protocol that should be removed from the input stream (see 'THE TELNET "SYNCH" SIGNAL' in RFC854). Unfortunately the telnetlib.Telnet implementation shipped with Python version 2.5 simply passes the DM char through..
