What > terminal emulator are you trying to use? I know this problem, because I had the same one. If you try to telnet from the console of a FreeBSD box to a non-FreeBSD box it won't accept that much because of your different terminal settings, not even when you set the term to vt100, however then most of the things work. If you want real vt100 emulation, you have to start 'screen'... Then all problems are over: you can just telnet to other hosts as much as you want and it will work! Shouldn't this be standard?
