Description

Currently using Commons.net's Telnet client for connecting to MUD/MUSH servers, and some servers use subnegotiation for sending out-of-band data with more than the hard-coded 512 bytes that TelnetInputStream limits it to. It looks like it would be straightforward to add an (optional) int constructor parameter to TelnetClient that passes it to a similar, new TelnetInputStream constructor parameter.

I've got a workaround using a bunch of reflection, but it'd be nice to not need that.
