It works perfectly. Thanks, Kevin. Looking at telnet.el: I didn't have time to track down why it works, but it does, so I'm happy. Actually, FYI, I realized belatedly that I was not using the vanilla Emacs telnet.el - it doesn't seem work for me on Windows. I'm using some Emacs-Lisp code by Zoltan Kemenczy, which works with a native Windows telnet executable by Igor Milavec and Naftali Ramati. (I've had it for a few years, but I don't remember trying it before.) In hopes that it might help others (unless there is something better), I put the Lisp code here: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/telnet-contrib.el. This also includes an Emacs telnet command by Ngai Kim Hoong that works with the Cygwin telnet executable for Windows. The Hoong code is from here: http://www.khngai.com/emacs/cygwin.php. Links to the Milavec and Naftali-Ramati executable (sources) and the Kemenczy Lisp code are here: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq8.html#telnet. I don't know if there is something better or more recent, and I don't know why GNU Emacs doesn't also supply Windows executables and Lisp code that work (as part of the distribution), but it doesn't, to my knowledge. If someone knows better, please let me know - post an update at Emacs Wiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/TelnetMode. HTH.
