My guess is that you're using a telnet program but you're probably not using the telnet protocol.

Telnet has a gazillion options to control a Network Virtual Terminal,
since back in the day there was a whole lot more variation among
terminal character sets and control features.

Are you using any of those, or would a program like nc that just sets
up a two way TCP session to a remote server work just as well?

R's,
John
