Telnet does not know anything about terminal emulations, that is
controlled by your TERM environment variable and the program from
which you are running telnet (e.g. an xterm, putty, etc.).

Setting the environment variable TERM=vt100 after telnet'ing to
the remote system may work or perhaps using the command

TERM=vt100 telnet destination
