### 3.6 rlogin, telnet and tn3270

These URL schemes from RFC 1738 for logon via a terminal emulator have the form

         telnet://user:password@host:port

but the `:`password component is ignored.

To handle rlogin, telnet and tn3270 URLs, a `rlogin`, `telnet` or `tn3270` (the program names and arguments are hardcoded) session is run in a `terminal-emulator` buffer. Well-known ports are used if the URL does not specify a port.
