Networking Problems

[Simon Crosby]

Hi

I have recently tried programming a text network game using sockets in 
python as detailed in "Programming Python" 2nd ed. I developed this on 
linux and used telnet as a client. Then I tried connecting to the game 
server with windows telnet. This showed the text very differently, 
ignoring newlines and when prompting for input takes any character as a 
newline. It does not matter if the server is run on linux or windows.
Attached is my networking code.

eg :

 na Dungeon                      |
                                          | Our Motto: No quests, just fights!
