How to send carriage return over telnet?

Question

I am using Ubuntu telnet client. I am trying to send 2 lines over the telnet connection that I have made.

For example:

> telnet en.wikipedia.org 8

You can set the crlf option in telnet. You can do this by, during your telnet session, typing the escape character (^]), and then "toggle crlf". A perhaps cleaner way is to specify this before making the connection:

$ telnet
telnet> toggle crlf
Will send carriage returns as telnet .
telnet> open mailhost smtp
