So the issue will be the "telnet" program.

ANSI autodetect normally works by using ANSI codes to move the cursor to a location, and then using telnet (IAC) codes to ask the terminal where the cursor is. Some dumb telnet programs may not understand (many of the) telnet IAC codes..

If you find a better telnet program that you can launch, you might be OK...
