Well I "kindve" figured this, but this is a detached server I'm
connecting to a remote host.
I tried setting the echo off with a tcsetattr() call but its a socket
(fd) connection not a tty.
At this point it probably obvious I know just enough to be dangerous.

I have the general server-side pseudo code
socket_fd = accept()

I cant do a tcsetattr on a socket.
How do I establish a tty? Do I establish a pty (pseudo tty)?
I have no idea how to get to a tty-like connection from a socket.
It must be easy since telnet, ftp clients all have to do this --
right?
I read the Stevens book but it's pretty hazy on this.

You need to run a protocol over the socket connection which implements
terminal operations, such as telnet at the simplest level.
(Having said that, finding telnet clients that handle no-echo in line
mode is rather a challenge, given how few telnet server sides support
line mode.)
