displaying extended ASCII from a telnet session

[Christian Wilcox]

I'm trying to programmatically access information from a telnet session which is normally accessed with a telnet program capable of terminal emulation (currently set at VT320).  The initial login text displays fine, of course, but when I get to the section which displays extended ASCII characters, Telnet from telnetlib displays the following garbled mess:

?[?40h?[?3l?[0;1m?>?[?1l?[?25l?[?3l?[0;0H?[2J?[?25l?(B??[0;7m?[23B ba6.0 version 03-1993/R1 ?[0m?[0;

Any ideas of a way to decode this information?
