 In message <199602211527.KAA03420@aldan>you write:

 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)
