First, you need to find out what does the F6 key on a Unix box generate. 
It is usually some escape sequence.  One way of finding out is to go to
the Unix box and press F6.  It should echo the sequence, so you'd know.  
(The answer depends on the type of the Unix machine, and on the specific 
variety of Unix that it runs, so I cannot tell you that from here.)

Once you know what the Unix machine expects, you need to set up the 
telnet client on the Windows machine so that it generates that sequence 
when you press F6.  Almost every telnet client I saw enables you to do 
this (if yours doesn't, toss it and get another).

That's all!
