Microsoft lied ...... its broken :) I had exactly the same experience with it & after tearing hair out for a few days I decided to get a "proper" telnet client. Actually I've found a few that work well, most of them cost a bit but thems the breaks. Ones that do work well are "PowerTerm Pro" & GeorgiaSoftworks NTTelnet" I used both of them over a few years & no complaints. I don't use them much now however .... the Open Source "PuTTY telnet / SSH client works just as well, but handles SSH as well as telnet, and the price is right :) > Microsoft says that telnet program that ships with Windows 2000 is > ansi compatible.
