Using telnet on local network

Greetings all;

I have an old, old computer that has the ability to converse, more or less, 
with the telnet program supplied by out 10-04.4 repo's.

However that machine has huge diffs in the kayboard mapping when compared 
to a modern 100+ key pc keyboard.

Is there a place where a translation table that would make a modern pc 
keyboard be more compatible with this old machines expectations?

For instance, the pc keyboard backspace key is gibberish to the old 
machine, while a ctrl+h works as expected.  That is the sort of 
translations I'd like to have done automatically if possible.

Is it?  And if so, how?

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene
