Technically, binary TX mode is supposed to be required (according to the original Telnet RFCs) for 8-bit character transmission. In modern times (and clarified in RFC1123), 8-bit characters are sent/received in Telnet ASCII mode without issue. So yes, I agree, if both sides correctly encoded/decoded CR<->CRLF, theoretically, binary TX mode should not be needed.
