tlntsess.exe performs console redirection in the official Windows telnet
server. It's ugly. In the case of ctm, I can assure you the application
runs correctly, it's the server that doesn't know how to send the output
over the connection

The Windows cmd can simply run without a console, no hidden trick. It
assumes a serial terminal is connected to stdin/stdout, although I'm not
sure what kind of terminal it assumes (see: the control character used
by the console-less implementation of cls)
