The point is that the telnet program has nothing whatsoever to do with
VT100.

I do not know off-hand where to get sources for BSD telnet. I'm sure you
could find them on the net. But getting these sources will do absolutely
nothing to help you with your problem.

What you need to do is get a terminal emulator that supports VT100. Like
toswin, or screen.

What terminal/terminal emulator are you using to run telnet at present,
and how is it configured?

Getting another telnet client will not help.

Well, I suppose this is not necessarily entirely true. You probably can
get telnet programs with an integrated terminal emulator. UNIX telnet is
not like that.
