So, I turned on options debugging to see if that could help me figure
out what's going on.  The options you see when connecting to a Sun are
equivalent to the options you see when connecting to an SGI, right up
until the end, where you see:

	Sun:
		RCVD DO ECHO
		SENT WONT ECHO
		RCVD WILL ECHO
		SENT DO ECHO
		What you type is protected by encryption.

	SGI:
		RCVD DO ECHO
		SENT WONT ECHO
		RCVD WILL ECHO
		SENT DO ECHO
		RCVD IAC DMARK
		RCVD IAC SB TOGGLE-FLOW-CONTROL OFF
		hat you type is protected by encryption.

There isn't any other mention of a DMARK in the SGI options; I still
haven't figured out why the server sends it.
