This works around a bug in HP-UX's telnet client and also gives a much
saner user experience when using FreeBSD's telnet client.

1) ANSIfy.
2) Clean up ifdefs so that
a) ones that never/always apply are appropriately either
fully removed, or just the #if junk is removed.
b) change #if defined(FOO) for appropiate values of FOO.
(currently AUTHENTICATION and ENCRYPTION)
3) WARNS=2 fixing
4) GC other unused stuff
This code can now be unifdef(1)ed to make non-crypto telnet.
to do what they are supposed to: under some circumstances output data would
be truncated, or the buffer would not actually be flushed (possibly leading
to overflows when the caller assumes the operation succeeded). Change the
semantics so that these functions ensure they complete the operation before
returning.
Comment out diagnostic code enabled by '-D reports' which causes an
infinite recursion and an eventual crash.
Patch developed with assistance from ru and assar.
o Fixed `nfrontp' calculations in output_data(). If `remaining' is
initially zero, it was possible for `nfrontp' to be decremented.
Noticed by: dillon
o Replaced leaking writenet() with output_datalen():
: * writenet
: *
: * Just a handy little function to write a bit of raw data to the net.
: * It will force a transmit of the buffer if necessary
: *
: * arguments
: * ptr - A pointer to a character string to write
: * len - How many bytes to write
: */
: void
: writenet(ptr, len)
: register unsigned char *ptr;
: register int len;
: {
: /* flush buffer if no room for new data) */
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: if ((&netobuf[BUFSIZ] - nfrontp) < len) {
: /* if this fails, don't worry, buffer is a little big */
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: netflush();
: }
:
: memmove(nfrontp, ptr, len);
: nfrontp += len;
:
: } /* end of writenet */
What an irony! :-)
o Optimized output_datalen() a bit.
