I tried -8 from a SCO unix box to a SunOS box.
It comes up, and gives a login, but you need to use ctrl-j
to actually log into the machine, and once logged into the
SunOS machine, you need to do a "stty sane" to get it to WORK
like you would expect.

If this (ctrl-j problem) is the problem you were having, then I would
say that it is a SunOS not negotiating binary mode correctly.

I too the telnetd from freebsd-stable and compiled it under the SunOS
machine.  This telnetd works under SunOS (after ported) and does not
share the problem with the SunOS shipped telnetd.

My solution was to use the FreeBSD telnetd under SunOS>
