I'm sure you know what you're doing, but this just might be of interest... The standard implementation of the TELNET client only uses TELNET protocol 
to port 23. When instructed to use another port it uses raw TCP.
FWIW, this isn't the case in recent telnets: if the port number is specified with a leading '-', option negotiation is handled; otherwise, no telnet options are negotiated up front. It's only effective initially; I think that options sent afterwards would be valid (or subject to negotiation).
