* linemode
* no vt100 / ansi escape codes
## features
irc-like:
* public channels with persistent history (pgup/pgdn)
* private messages (`/msg acidburn hey`)
* nick completion with `<tab>`
* notifications (bell/visual) on hilights and PMs
* command subset (`/nick`, `/join`, `/part`, `/names`, `/topic`, `/me`)
* inline message coloring, see `/help`
technical:
* client behavior detection (echo, colors, charset, newline)
* readline-like message input (arrow-keys, home/end, backspace)
* history of sent messages (arrow-up)
* bandwidth-conservative (push/pop lines instead of full redraws; scroll-regions)
## windows clients
* use [putty](https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/w32/putty.exe) in telnet mode
