I have modified talgate.src, I now have the 'telnet_gate str' line reading
'telnet_gate str 16'

err.. telgate.src ... too lazy to edit that line.  did a 'baja telgate' and
tried it again.  Made no difference..  I don't understand why I can telnet into
vert and talamasca but not into my shell account or local unix box.

I have also tried Eric's Telnet98, and Tera Term Pro, with no differences. 
I'll go to Hilgraeve's site later and grab Hyperterm PE and then cross my
fingers.
