I've had problems with the telnetd echoing strangely after
failed logins on our FreeBSD 1.0.2 based machines.  Also, our
MacLC III machines could not even get as far as a login prompt
with NCSA's telnet version 2.5.1.  The fix that I found works
is to get the lastest (from FreeBSD-current) version of the files:

/usr/src/libexec/telnetd/sys_term.c
/usr/src/libexec/telnetd/Makefile

and "make" the new telnetd and place it in /usr/libexec.

It has fixed all of our telnetting problems with FreeBSD.
