So I've was just using TDD (as I'm still learning this process) to write a Telnet command parser that parses out the non command bytes, and the individual commands from a byte array. It fires an event each time a command is parsed and returns a byte array of the data without the telnet commands in it. I've only done tiny tiny tiny bits of refactoring, so I'm wondering, how much further would any experienced TDD'ers take the refactoring from here...

I recommend breaking out lines 22-51 into a private method. If you read Fowler's refactoring book, he recommends that functions be kept as short as possible, and have them be doing only one thing.

Additionally, my quick scan of the Telnet protocol gave me the impression that subnegotiate commands would always be in the form of:
IAC SB subOptionCode [data]* IAC SE

So that would mean that you can also break out into another method the handler for the SB command, to just be a loop that correctly escapes IAC's and looks for the IAC SE end marker. This will let you get rid of the confusing code that set the output variable to either the subnegotiation byte list, or the non-command byte list.
