Ok, my original question still wasn't answered. I need a command line tel client that doesn't parse ansi (like the linux one) for sshd's ForceComman to telnet to the bbs and allow the user's telnet client to interpret the a 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 f a windows solution, but it doesn't look like there is one. I'll stick wit my Linux solution, I guess. It's just a waste of resources.

Haven't read the whole thread of replies, but if you are looking for a terminal client, take a look at Telnite:
https://github.com/xqtr/telnite/tree/main

...or any other python telnet client, which are or can be done, to be run on Windows and Linux.

That might work, but I get tons of errors when executing telnite.py. I
posted a github issue.

I'd love a solution that will run under Windows. This won't. I can't run
WSL, it kills my VMWare VMs.

I thought that Telnite and Python was working flawless under Windows and Linux at the same time. I was wrong. Thank you for the github issue and bringing this to my attention.

For your problem... take a look in the Internet, perhaps there are other python scripts that may work. This one looks promising:
