At the far end, just set the terminal type to VT100, by doing something
like

export TERM=vt100

Hopefully Toswin's tw100 is close enough to work.

If this does not work, then please describe precisely how it fails.

In that case you must be using some sort of telnet client with an
integrated terminal emulator. The BSD UNIX telnet client is not like that.

I don't know the answer to that. You could try looking at NetBSD, OpenBSD,
FreeBSD etc. But the point is that getting this will not help you get
VT100 working.
