To admit, except showed me that I'm not right in that

   if (tcgetattr(0, &G.termios_def) < 0)
                exit(1);

should be changed. It *is* posible to script bb telnet as is. Sorry for
the false alarm.

Now I only wonder how expect does it... I can't use expect, but I can do
the same thing.
