telnetlib3 is an asynchronous Python library for building Telnet servers and clients, supporting a wide array of Telnet Option specifications (RFCs). It offers both a programmatic API and command-line utilities. Currently at version 4.0.2, it maintains an active release cadence with frequent bug fixes and feature enhancements.

This quickstart demonstrates a basic Telnet server using `telnetlib3`. It sets up an asynchronous server that echoes back any text received from connected clients. The server listens on port 6023 by default, or a port specified by the `TELNET_PORT` environment variable. To test, run this script and then connect with `telnet localhost 6023` in another terminal.
Remove imports and usage of `telnetlib3.color_filter`. Consider migrating color filtering logic to a separate utility or `Telix` library if similar functionality is needed.
For the client, use the `--line-mode` CLI option to restore line-buffered behavior. For the server's PTY execution, use `--line-mode` with `--pty-exec` to restore cooked PTY mode with echo.
If your application relies on a minimum wait time for negotiation (e.g., for specific legacy clients/servers), explicitly set `connect_minwait=1.0` (or your desired value) when calling `open_connection()` or `create_server()`.
Upgrade to `telnetlib3` version 4.0.2 or newer. The client now automatically detects zlib/gzip format and falls back to raw deflate as needed, resolving these decompression issues.
