>From the man page for telnet on my Mac (OS X 10.4, Intel):

 echo    This is the value (initially ``^E'') which, when in
                        ``line by line'' mode, toggles between doing local
                        echoing of entered characters (for normal processing),
                        and suppressing echoing of entered characters (for
                        entering, say, a password).

Based on that, I venture to guess that pressing CTRL-E after logging
in will eliminate the echo.
