Are you sure you have installed your telnet image with the proper
privileges?  If I remember right, it takes (took?) special file
permissions for a program to run and be able to turn off ^C.  I
wrote a program under VMS, years ago, that could read in cbreak
mode but could not ignore ^C's for this very reason.
