However I did notice that if you telnet to another box (a local Linux box in my case), the cursor problem is not completely resolved. The cursor 'sort-of' disappears when you cursor through the command line, but it comes back almost instantly when you take your finger off the cursor key. I suspect this has something to do with the network latency involed in telnetting to another machine?
