That's not the same thing - with a pty in line mode, you get one line that you can edit, and when you hit enter, it gets sent. With Domain/OS, you still get to edit your last line until you hit enter... but if the process is otherwise blocked and doesn't consume it immediately, you can up-arrow and continue editing the earlier bits too. (Pretty sure it didn't work with telnet in particular, the common cases I remember were issuing a foo;bar;baz commandline and "working on" the input to baz while foo and bar were still running.)
