Meaning that the line is compiled in.  You can recompile telnetd with
-DDEFAULT_IM='Your String', which will change the first line.  You can
also start telnetd with the '-h' option, which will avoid printing that
line out altogether.  There's also something in the sources about the
"default" terminal type and the "im" setting, but I couldn't figure it out
in the two minutes that I looked at the sources -- see telnet() in
telnetd.c.

The second line, I believe, comes from the login process, which is
execve'd, so I'm not sure you can easily change that.
HTH,
