In message <199602211527.KAA03420@aldan>you write:
> When connecting to other machines via telnet, telnet-client

Can you do the following:
% telnet
telnet> set option
telnet> open (wherever)
It is likely that your whatever server is asking for a different name for your
terminal type, like so:
RCVD IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE SEND
SENT IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE IS "CONS30"
RCVD IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE SEND
SENT IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE IS "ANSI80X30"
RCVD IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE SEND
SENT IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE IS "ANSI80X30"
RCVD IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE SEND
SENT IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE IS "CONS30"
It looks like the whatever server keeps asking until it gets either a terminal
type that it recognizes or the first terminal type that I sent. The FreeBSD
client seems to be behaving as specified in RFC1091, perhaps it is your
whatever server that is behaving incorrectly?
("cons30" and "ansi80x30" are synonyms in /usr/share/misc/termcap)
