The command is enabling and disabling local echo of typed characters,

So when the server tells the client to disable local echo, reply
appropriately, give the user a password field to type into instead,

It's important to understand not just the TELNET protocol but the
option-negotiation mechanism and quite a few options when
implementing a TELNET client. I know it's not the simplest protocol,
and it's not the easiest set of RFCs to make sense of...
Note that /usr/bin/telnet includes the ability to display all of the
options processing as it happens, and to log everything to a file.
(man telnet for some details, also type "telnet" on the command line
and then type "help" at the "telnet>" prompt.)
Thus you can telnet to a given server and see exactly what it's
requesting, what it's saying it will do, etc.
