How Microsoft could include such a terrible telnet client with anything they sell is beyond me. I couldn't find a good one that wasn't $ or bloatware. I found one on one of those sites called "console telnet," however, which is pretty much a DOS-ish app that runs in a DOS window. It's a tad slow on my old 486, but it seems to get the job done as closely to "real" telnet's style as possible. Good luck!
