I have had various results with different windows telnet clients also. 
Some settings that seem to help if you can change them

Use: Force Character at a time mode.
Also make sure not to change the window size (ok if scaling, and not 
changing rows/columns).

I use CRT v4.0.1 with windows.  Took me a bit of tweeking but works 
great now.  I also tested a couple of free/shareware clients that worked 
good.

Under linux and solaris I use the command line telnet which works, and a 
nix serial/com program that works great is minicom.

I don't have the drivewire serial drivers (can't find them or the 
server) but I do have drive wire.
I kinda got the source off of source forge, but I am not a programer, 
just a hacker and havn't figured out all the ins and outs of compiling 
with source forge.
I have better luck compiling on the coco! ha ha ha

I use a windows program written for comador's to go from serial on the 
coco to tcpip on the net, where I log into the coco at home from work, 
and use scred that way.

If you could instruct me on where/how to get the drivewire stuff, I 
could help you test it.

Good luck! and have fun!
