I have a similar (I think) question. I'd like the same thing only for
when I use Mx-telnet.

This problem may no longer exist in future emacs versions if you can
telnet as a vt100, but now I have to use "generic" for terminal when I
telnet -- to read articles on EcoNet/PeaceNet -- and the display's
putting the cursor in the middle of the screen messes things up (i.e.
a few C-u C-l will make things fine -- except you need to move the
cursor back to the bottom again before you give any more input!) so
you miss the first 1-6 lines of the article.

Any suggestions?
