I also had problema using ncsa telnet. You need the latest release of it:
when running telnetd in debug mode I discovered ncsa telnet gives
invalid responses to some of the WILL'S and WONT's in the option setting fase.
It replies with a won't do LINEMODE on some of the WILL's of the telnetd thus
causing a seemingly hangup. However when you do a netstat you'll see a 
connection is made. When I installed the latest ncsa telnet all worked fine.
