mIRC'like DCC chat

[arfer]

Using

/ctcp botnick chat

or programmatically

*ctcp:CHAT $nick $uhost $hand $botnick CHAT $arg

opens a telnet like DCC private chat session with many spurious characters in the bot's responses.

Eg. Enter your password.ÿû¬

I would ideally prefer something programatically equivalent to the mIRC command

/dcc chat botnick

which does not yield the odd characters.

Any helpful input, or is it impossible?

those are telnet control characters, since eggdrop uses the same code for handling real telnet sessions and DCC chat
