Which version of SunOS?  Some of them use the stock 4.3BSD telnet
daemon, which has some quaintnesses in newline handling.

The issue is that the 4.3BSD telnet daemon translated the "netascii"
newline to a LF, rather than a CR.  Now this should not have been a
problem, since the also do not set CRMOD on the psuedo-tty.  (Remember
that UNIX's native terminal is a tty 37, which sends LF, not CR.)
Unfortunately, while this worked fine on a cooked tty, it may not work
optimally on a raw tty.  Many applications operating in raw mode do
not work with LF terminals, only with CR terminals.  Data Workbench
must be such a program.

Because so many raw mode programs don't work with LF terminals (how
many LF terminals are sold anymore?), Berkeley switched the telnet
server back to typing CR, and setting CRMOD.  You need to get the
correct telnet daemon for the Sun.
