FreeBSD's console driver does not claim to emulate vt100 terminals, so
naturally it won't work.
When you telnet to a remote host that does not recognize the terminal
type, use the following for the respective OS.
sun-24 SunOS/Solaris
scoansi Linux
I don't know about other OS's, but I think ansi should work just fine.

If more UNIX vendors incorporate FreeBSD's console termcap definition
into their shipping termcap, then it'll become standard.
