For one thing, the telnet client that comes with Win95 and WinNT suck
rocks. And I mean suck _bad_. Microsoft can't seem to do anything
right, not even something as simple as a telnet client. Check the
{free,share}ware sites for a decent Win* telnet client. I use SimpTerm
on occasion and it seems to work well enough.
