+	    The <c>nodelay</c> option used to be enabled

+	    Test telnet client. This appeared to cause communication
+	    problems with telnet servers on some systems, and
+	    therefore the option is no longer used. Its value may
+	    instead be specified in the telnet connection settings.
+	    See the man page for <c>ct_telnet</c> for details. Please
+	    note that the interface function <c>connect</c> in
+	    <c>unix_telnet</c> has been updated with an extra
+	    argument and is now <c>unix_telnet:connect/7</c>.</p>
