Telnet line send delay

Please add the option to specify a delay between lines (line feed) when pasting multiple lines of text in a telnet session. Many older/legacy telnet systems input buffers or software seemingly overflow when sending long or multi-line strings and will not accept more than x lines at a time, resulting in errors on the receiving end.

This is a common feature on popular terminal applications (Tera Term, MobaXterm, SecureCRT).
This feature sends one line at a time, pausing between lines so the telnet server can process the stream.

Hello,

Thank you for the request. We already support this for our SSH terminal, so it should be simple to add for Telnet. I've opened a ticket.

Hello,

The paste delay should be available for Telnet entries.
If this is the setting you were referring to, it should already be on our live versions.

If you were referring to a different setting, please let us know.

Regards,

Jafran Majeau
