I noticed this problem in the previous CSD with TELNET. I switched back to 
the last version that did work and everything was fine. It's a shame, too, 
because the newer ones seem to display faster. Anyway, I got this latest CSD 
and noticed that TELNET and VT220 are still broken. Sigh.

I hadn't noticed the Ctrl-C problem--I don't use Emacs--but you might take a 
look that the "local character" setting (hit Ctrl-] and then type "help.") 
there may be a solution somewhere in there.
