"Password echoing" is actually one of the things that advanced telnet fixes.
Without a proper patch installed, you're going to get passwords on your
screen. If you're seeing that effect on your screen, it means that you don't
have an advanced telnet patch on your HP3000.

If you'd like, there's more information on both the SLE (suppress local echo)
option for telnet, which is the mechanism by which passwords are suppressed,
and the problems you'll see if you've selected to run in the advanced telnet
mode on a non-patched version of MPE at:
