Spot on. I've never used TeraTerm, but in my experience just about any
telnet program, other than the one that comes with windows, should work
fine.

You need to set the Terminal type to (in order of preference) xterm, vt220
or vt100.

If that fails, I've found NetTerm (should be on TUCOWS) is almost as good
as the real thing :)
