I have to use it at work to connect to OpenVMS Systems that use a lot of the advanced VT features, so you can believe that their VT100/220/320/420 emulation is really good. (OpenVMS was written by digital, the same people that made the original VT terminals). I don't know how much it costs, but it is a very robust telnet client. If you don't mind spending money, it might be a way to go. The company that makes it just changed names (or was bought out, something like that).

I saw colors, the menus were happy, everything was fine. Your terminal and the remote machine probably don't agree on what terminal emulation to use probably. Go find in the settings of your terminal program what kind of terminal you have (maybe vt102?) and check that with the one FreeBSD has detected (echo $TERM). Making them the same might solve the problem, but my experience is that none of the commercial terminal/X clients has all the functionality defined built-in.
