I think in this case you are stretching he program beyond its intended limits. Not
everything can run over telnet.
The only other item I can think of is that telnetting in as root is by default
prohibited. You would need to change the permissions if you have not already done so.
I AM able to reproduce your error.
For the same effect, from the GUI world, try this
http://www.webmin.com/webmin/
It's pretty neat, and will run from Netscape (and from Konqueror if you set up the URL
properly)
