Some time ago I determined this was happening and I modified telnet.c to
filter out nulls from going to the console. I also filtered out control-Zs
since under some environments (notably DoubleDos) they cause the console
to hang.

I hate having to add ugly patches to get around bugs in other people's
broken software...
