From man telnet
Once a connection has been opened, telnet will attempt to enable
the
TELNET LINEMODE option. If this fails, telnet will revert to one
of two
input modes: either ``character at a time'' or ``old line by line''
de
pending on what the remote system supports.
Telnet always attempts to switch to linemode, it's only if it gets told
not to that it doesn't. eg shells, pine etc need to receive every char
press, so telnetd tells the connecting client to not do it.
Quick check of telnet with options toggle turned on:
telnet> toggle options
Will show option processing.

tracefile set to "(standard output)".
telnet> open localhost 4000
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

SENT WILL LINEMODE

RCVD DONT LINEMODE
To enable the char behaviour you'd need to send the DONT LINEMODE telnet
options.
