Trouble telnetting to my NeXT

I have a NeXT attached to our campus network.  Elsewhere, there are a bunch
of IBM PC's running NCSA Telnet PU 2.2TN.6 that you can use to connect
to many machines on campus, for which they seem to work fine.  However,
when I use them to telnet to my NeXT, I have the following problems:
(I set the terminal type to vt100.)

1) Characters you type are not echoed to the screen at login, or
within mail or write.  However, they are echoed at the Unix prompt.

2) Ctrl-h seems to be captured somewhere, so I can't send a ctrl-h
to Emacs.  Also, when I type enter within Emacs, I got the following
in the message line: "Symbol's value as variable is void: xxx" where
xxx is the last thing typed on that line.

As is probably apparent from this note, I'm not too familiar with the
intricacies of Unix or communications, so any assistance would be
appreciated.
