I'm not completely sure about your objective, but for me, the main thing I
miss when I'm using an ordinary telnet client in convers is the lack of a chat
[type-ahead] window.  Xconvers is an excellent client for Linux, designed
specifically for that purpose.  In the Windows world, my choice for *free*
telnet clients that feature an optional chat window is called "MishTerm."  It
seems to work fine as a convers client.  VanDyke Software also makes a very
nice, full-featured Windows client, but it's far from free.
