Try using VT100 emulation.  As an alternative to TERMINAL.EXE, you
might try FTPing WinQVT from cica.cica.indiana.edu -- I just got the
latest version, 4.65, from the uploads directory (yeah, I know, but
I'm impatient.)  

TERMINAL.EXE DOES have VT100 emulation, but it has some bugs.
Configuring it as a generic TTY won't work, though, since that means
it doesn't understand escape codes.

There are a few other VT100 emulators for Windows, but I have been
using WinQVT for a while and it works for me.
