First of all, you should probably subscribe to bsdi-users@bsdi.com
or read the newsgroup info.bsdi-users, your problem was discussed there
several times already.

Not to your problem:
I guess you are telnet-ing from a machine with an old telnet implemention
to the BSD/386 machine, so the old telnet doesn't handle the LINE MODE
negotiation correctly.
Possible solutions:
1) Use rlogin instead of telnet
2) get newer telnet on the other machine
3) compile the telnetd on BSD/386 without -DKLUDGELINEMODE
