Version 2.6 NCSA Telnet for Macintosh has similar problem:
If I connect directly from my Mac to NetBSD (1.0) or FreeBSD (2.0.5) it
works until I go to emacs or vi and make Control-z. After that connection
is in line mode (even if I go back to emacs with fg).
If I first login into other host (SunOS) and then telnet to NetBSD or
FreeBSD machine, I do not have this problem. It also seems that version
2.5 of NCSA Telnet (Mac) does not have this problem.
