Have you tried sysnative in case installing telnet gives you a 32-bit
version as well as a 64-bit one?

Different versions of Windows have come with one of two telnets.
Early and late versions came
with the white-on-black, no-local-echo you have.  The others came with
black-on-white,
with-local-echo, window-closes-when-connection-closes.  IIRC, the one
that closed when the
connection closed was dropped from Windows prior to HTTP persistent
connections being widely
supported, so was never useful for diagnosing HTTP.

Basically, Windows telnet (both versions) is proof that MIC.  Microsoft Is Crap.
