Sorry to Bug you!
M-x telnet will result in "Symbol's value as variable is void:
shell-prompt-pattern" after entering the host name. Following seems
to be missing:

+ (require 'shell)
(let* ((comint-delimiter-argument-list '(?\ ?\t))
(properties (cdr (assoc host telnet-host-properties)))
(telnet-program (if properties (car properties) telnet-program))
However I must be missing something pretty obvious since telnet.el
seems to be untouched for years?
