[Twisted-Python] telnet works, why wont this client/protocol test?

[Jasper St. Pierre]

If you really want:

    from twisted.protocols.basic import LineReceiver

    class LFLineReceiver(LineReceiver):
        delimiter = '\n'

I'm assuming that it being '\r\n' by default is because more of the
protocols that use LineReceiver use '\r\n' as their delimiter. It's
not entirely hard to switch to '\n' as the delimiter.
