The GA sequence is the "go ahead" sequence. Some clients might like
it, but it generally does nothing. Irregardless, it's trivial to add.
Three steps:
* At the top of comm.c add: char ga_string[] = { (char) IAC, (char)
GA, (char) 0 };
* Add a PRF_GA flag (if you can't do that, hit yourself with a
frying pan...hard)
* At the end of make_prompt(), just before "return prompt;" add:
if (d->character && PRF_FLAGGED(d->character, PRF_GA))
strcat(prompt, ga_string);
Should take ~5 minutes, the bulk of the work being adding the flag and
a command to toggle it off/on (and that's no big thing). It may or
may not help you.
