Maybe your firewall just drops the packets (typical behavior of a DROP
target in netfilter) instead of rejecting your connection ?
Do you obtain the same behavior on other ports (if 25/tcp is dropped,
your netadmin may have configure some restrictive firewall and might
drop everything) ?

Actually, if the OS is windows, the telnet client has local echo off
by default. For that just start the telnet client first and do "set
localecho" (without the quotes) then "o smtp-server 25". After that
all the keystrokes will be visible in the telnet client.
