Because those Windows terminals are dumb.  I'm somewhat surprised that
the window
clients don't support "pc console" but I've never used them myself.  

If you can't get any of the available termcaps on the remote system
working
you have two options.
1. Install a termcap (or terminfo) that supports your terminal.  I have
no idea
how you would go about doing this in a Windows environment.
2. Run X on your local machine, and use XTerms to talk to the remote
server, 
using one of the VT100 modes (XTerms try to be VT102 emulators, but
VT100
is usually close enough for most purposeses)
