It isn't a telnet that you are looking for. Telnet doesn't do the terminal
emulation.

What you are looking for is a terminal emulation program that supports ANSI
colour with an appropriate /etc/termcap||terminfo entry.

If you run X11 then you might take a look at:

ansi-xterm, it comes with a 'vga' font and is quite satisfactory.
It does just about everything you can do from your MSDOS terminal
except the '128-256' graphics characters.
