Ok, my original question still wasn't answered.  I need a command line telnet
client that doesn't parse ansi (like the linux one) for sshd's ForceCommand
to telnet to the bbs and allow the user's telnet client to interpret the ansi.
I tried PLINK.EXE from putty and telnet.exe from cygwin, but they don't
display like the linux telnet client from a linux VM does.  I was hoping for
a windows solution, but it doesn't look like there is one.  I'll stick with
my Linux solution, I guess.  It's just a waste of resources.
