I'm having exactly the same problem with telnet so I use MS-Kermit
3.13 to connect instead. The problem is caused I think by the fact the
FreeBSD's telnet daemon fixed a bunch of kludges from BSD 4.2 telnetd.
NCSA telnet doesn't recognize this and screws up the echo - sometimes.
MS-Kermit never exhibits this problem so I keep NCSA telnet installed
for ftp and ping and use kermit to do terminal emulation. You may want
to try using the -k option in telnet to get see if that fixes the
problem but I haven't done this yet to see if it will work.
