+ent of 
    ## the option, the data in this line, and the position of the subo
+ption
    ## in the data.
    ## 
    ## The command can have one of three values:
    ## "SEND" - Please send me an answer for this option
    ## "IS"   - Here are the values you asked for
    ## "SB"   - Neither SEND or IS were specified, some buggy options 
+do this!
    ## 
    ## The option content is an empty string for SEND (since it is a c
+ommand),
    ## contains the passed values for IS, and the entire command for S
+B

    ## Both the data and the pos arguments are there "just in case" an
+d are
    ## usually not needed.

## acceptDoOption is called to define callbacks to call when the serve
+r
## asks us to DO something.
## The corresponding calls are: acceptWillOption, activeDoOption, 
## activeWillOption
## Either the name of the option, eg 'TTYPE', or its number (24), can 
+be used. 
## Each option is associated with a hashref of callbacks for the vario
+us 
## types of telnet option commands.
## Commands:
## WILL    - Called when the server accepts to do an option
## WONT    - Called when the server says no to an option
## DO      - Called when the server says do an option
## DONT    - Called when the server says dont do an option
## SB      - Called when the server sends a suboption reply or request
## RAW     - Called for commands that arent options, like EOR

    ## read and respond to any options.

    elsif($incoming =~ /^Password:/)
