The telnet RFC (854 -- http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc854.html) details eleven constants for the telnet protocol that are not included in the telnetlib module. The attached patch adds them.

How did you come up with the symbolic names for these constants?

I used the abbreviations the RFC uses. For example, from the RFC:

   Abort Output (AO)                                   

      Allow the current process to (appear to) run to

completion, but do not send its output to the user. Also, send a Synch to the user.

and

   Erase Line          248    The function EL.
