Echo Negotiation in Telnet

"Telnet" in 4.1c has great difficulty talking to 3Com UNET uvtp servers;
when it turns local echoing off it never turns it back on.  The fix is to
add the following case in dooption() in /usr/src/ucb/netser/telnet/telnet.c:

	case TELOPT_ECHO:
		(void) mode(2);
		fmt = will;
		hisopts[option] = 0;
		break;

Whoever wrote telnet.c just forgot to handle this one, but telnetd never
sends one of these so it probably didn't come up during testing.
