Thanks for all the suggestions.  My first attempt was SecureCRT, but it 
doesn't seem to do a plain telnet session, and the server doesn't do 
SSH, so it's out.  Then PuTTY, which allowed me to put in arbitrary 
terminal types, but didn't actually emulate those types.  The app must 
do some funky control characters for positioning its quasi-graphical 
menus that requires wyse60 emulation.  I haven't found anything free 
that does this well yet.
