These are messages from the system you are connecting to. I don't think you can remove them, other than clearing the screen.

Thanks Rubberman....what do you mean "clear" the screen" ?
how can i do it?

Thanks

Assuming you have set your TERM environment in the telnet session after logging in correctly, then the shell "clear" command will clear the screen for you, giving you the full terminal window to use for whatever.

FWIW, most of the time, the telnet client will do that automatically, so check it with the command "echo $TERM". It should be something like ANSI, XTERM, VT100, or such. It may be upper or lower case. If it isn't set, set it with the command "export TERM=ansi"
