The telnet protocol includes a mechanism for sending environment
variables to the server. Telnet programs invariably send a suitable
value for the TERM environment variable to the server. You can use the
value of this variable to obtain the appropriate data from the
terminfo database.
You should never hardcode particular escape sequences into a program.
You should always use the terminfo database (or termcap if terminfo
isn't available) to obtain the correct sequences.

You can't do it using escape sequences. For the telnet protocol (which
appears to be what you're using), you need to use the ECHO option to
control echoing.
