I had this problem trying to use C-C in emacs.  NCSA Telnet by 
default maps C-C and a couple other Control codes to Interrupt, 
Suspend, and Resume.  You can clear these remappings from the
Session:Setup Keys... menu option, or from the Preferences:Sessions
setup screen.  Just clear the boxes, and Control Codes work as
normal.
