That's not rubbish even though it looks like. It's data send to the server
in a phase called "option negotiation". If you start a telnet on another
system (e.g. Linux) to connect to your nc server, you'll see the same.
It's triggered by either having no port given or if the port begins with
a dash.

Hehe, no. MS telnet doesn't send the option negotiaton since it just
don't know about it.
