The 0xFF code in Telnet is IAC "Interpret As Command" escape-like
character. See RFC-854 "Telnet Protocol Specification".

You should double this code 0xFF 0xFF to send exactly one 0xFF
or to go into special "binary mode" : RFC-856. Anyway, binary mode
will break all "telnet nogotiations" : sreen size, TERMACAP, e.t.c.
controlled by IAC sequences (and even our favorite RFC-2066
"Telnet Charset Options" ;))
P.S. DO NOT USE TELNET, USE SSH ! ;-)
