Likely if you have a decent Xserver for windows. (Do they exist?)

Mostly that terminals don't have good key events, while X does.
There are some special keybaord combinations that should let you type
everthing from telnet. Try [Ctrl-^]h to get the listing.
If you can rebind your keys binding the non working ones to some of the combinations
should help as well (assuming that won't cause havoc with other programs).
