According to method's signature 'mir' it is by "Who's Who" page Michael 
Rueger <http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1353>. Anyway, there are 
already methods #ascii and #binary which should work as switch.

Btw, its superclass is called "TelnetProtocolClient" - I don't like 
that. I peeked into RFC854 (Telnet Protocol Specification) and I don't 
see any mention of "<response code> <response>" style there. Anyone with 
better name for this? Maybe there's already a RFC document describing 
this form of communication.
