Out of interest, why do you want to disable nagle?

In almost all cases turning off Nagle on a host basis (as opposed to a
connection basis for some connections) is a bad thing.

For a telnet session, the only thing gained by turning it off is that if
you're over a high latency link the connection will be less jerky (but with
a very significant increase in bandwidth usage - up to about 10x as much
data can be transmitted with Nagle disabled!).
