yeah, use a different telnet program, or a different
terminal emulation (see archives for vt100) or a better
editor.  i like JOE.  it lets you define your own
keystrokes for all your keys.  or use PICO.  it seems
to perform the best under crummy terminal conditions.
get used to control/ESC sequences instead of PgUp/PgDn.
or use a FBSD machine for your client.
