   It would probably be because one of the (telnet) streams (or both), are not   
   put into "binary mode" - and thus the telnet client or server is interpreting   
   some of the binary chars that would be sent.   
      
   As per the wikipedia:   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet   
      
   "Another difference between Telnet and other TCP terminal clients is that   
   Telnet is not 8-bit clean by default. 8-bit mode may be negotiated, but octets   
   with the high bit set may be garbled until this mode is requested, as 7 bit is   
   the default mode."
