Or am I just going crazy? The Telnet binary is basically broken in 1.1 and 1.1.5.x. It has to do with negotiating linemode operation or somesuch. You can look at the Makefile for telnet and do a setenv KLUDGE; and recompile the telnet program. This will creat an otelnet binary that works without the ^M's and ^J's but it will also be broken in that it might not connect properly with other vendors telnet ports. Either way you have a differently broken telnet. FreeBSD 2.0 when it comes out is supposed to have a fixed telnet program.
