Hacking TELNET (Terminal Emulator) - Meta-key-p

["Eric A. Raymond" <raymond%ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov@RELAY.CS.NET>]

Are there any hacks that people have developed for TELNET?

One thing that I'd like to do is use the LISPM <meta> key.  Does
anyone have a hack/tercap combo which works?

Here's a little hack that automagically defaults my terminal simulator
type to a VT100:
(setf (cadr (assoc 'otherwise TELNET:*HOST-DEFAULT-TERMINAL-SIMULATORS*))
      'TELNET:VT100-TERMINAL-SIMULATOR)

Each cons in TELNET:*HOST-DEFAULT-TERMINAL-SIMULATORS* is of the form
(host-os default-simulator-type), where host-os is the "System Type*"
attribute of the host in the namespace (I think).
