Telnet: NaN garbage after pressing enter

[cherbert]

Hi, I am playing around with this library and trying to get it running within a Telnet server so I can have people connect via a terminal app.

When using the input example with autocomplete I get a lot NaN returns after pressing enter. I have made a little video showing. Initially I was using putty but that was all over the place and the input was jumping to the top of the page. I then looked at ZOC Terminal.

Is this library not really meant for remote connections? Do I need a better telnet library to run my server in Node? Do you recommend? I have also added a link to my code.

@cherbert It should works, but there is something wrong with some escape sequences.
Unfortunately, it's hard to tell from the video alone...
I could probably fix the NaN thing, but if that appears, it means the escape sequence could not be parsed properly, which means it would break anyway.

To be honest, I can't even say which part of the stack is at fault: it could be your terminal MidnightBlue, or the Node.js telnet module you are using. Also I'm not very familiar with telnet nowadays, but I tested the lib through SSH, and it was OK.
