Hi ! Mmh, I ran into this sometime myself (it fixed itself though ;) ) but I thought it had something to do with the echo_off / echo_on having to be 'flushed' through with a linefeed. (e.g. if there's no linefeed after the echo_xxx and before the input, the echo_xxx is simply not send to the other side), this might have to do with the linemode circle puts telnet into... See ya !
