 I get this message running telnet on windows box. Is there anyway to

Telnet is enough of a security problem that many *NIX sysadmins remove it
from their services. puTTY using SSH is much less of a hazard.

Naturally puTTY _will_ do telnet sessions (with their same security
problems). Is that the usage you wish to avoid?

What problems does it cause you?

Windows telnet should be using the vt100 terminal type, I believe.
