I had the same problem using TinyMUSH 2.0 (the newest release, btw, supports
Linux...) The work around I found was to compile Tinyfugue and use that
instead of telnet. Works like a charm, and is much nicer than telnet,
besides. I didn't have too much trouble compiling it, just define SYSVTTY in
the make file, and comment out anything that make chokes on in the source
code.
