Why so complicated?

Try to get the screen package from the ports (or packages) section...

It will emulate a fairly well VT100 for your purposes. Start "screen" at
your console. Simply start your telnet session afterwards
in such a "screen". Don't forget to set TERM (environment var)
to "vt100" before your telnet but AFTER invocation of screen.
