Re-write to allow options in any order, more control over all behavior
Previously, in order to just specify the terminal-type string, the sysop would also have to pass new values for the tg-mode, client-name and server-name, which was not very friendly. We still support the old syntax where order of arguments matters, but also a new better syntax for options (which may now come before or after the required address[:port] argument): -c <client-name> (default: user alias) -s <server-name> (default: user real name) -t <terminal-type> (e.g. "xtrn=doorcode" to auto-exec door on server) -T <connect-timeout-seconds> (default: 10 seconds) -m <telnet-gateway-mode> (Number or TG_* vars OR'd together, default: 0) -p send current user alias and password as server and client-name values -q don't display banner or pause prompt displayed (quiet) -P don't pause for user key-press -C don't clear screen after successful session For arguments that take a value (e.g. -c, -s, -t, -T, -m), the value may immediately follow the option letter (e.g. "-cMyName") or be specified in the following argument (e.g. "-c MyName"). Multiple options cannot be stuck together in the same option (e.g. use '-C -P' instead of '-CP'). If the RLogin server is a Synchronet BBS, you probably want to specify the '-p' option which will send the current user's alias and password in the RLogin connection parameters that Synchronet expects them. The sysop now has better control over the output (banner, screen-clearing) and the pause prompt that was previously hard-coded.
