Configuring ftp client on an embedded system

Hello all,

I have a newbie question about proper system config for FTP client and this
seems as good a place as any to post it.  It may be a question for an
config specfic list (but it is about configuring an embedded system), 
so if you can think of a better list I'd appreciate it...  I apologize in
advance for 
any dumb things I say ;)  

I have an embedded Linux system based upon the Bluecat distribution of Linux
2.4.10 (which is based upon Redhat's) .  This is a headless embedded system
so we have no display and the main console (tty0) is over the serial port.
Most system access is done via telnet logon.   Let me know if more details
would help...

When I logon to the system via telnet, and then attempt to use ftp client to
download data from another server, the ftp client requests my logon, then
when it requests my password, the Password: prompt actually shows up on the
Serial console (tty0), not on the telnet terminal.  Then, no matter if I
type my password on the serial console or on the telnet terminal, I cannot
get past this point.  Anything I type is in plain text and never accepted as
a password by the FTP server.

This problem does not occur if I use FTP client from the Serial console.  

I'm guessing that I just have some dumb config error that is forcing
authentication to occur on tty0, but I can't locate any parameters to that
affect.  If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it...

Thanks,
