Maybe you need a better telnet client. (I'm assuming the telnet client is
running on Windows.)

In the first place, the telnet program should perform an orderly termination
of the TCP/IP connection, if a) the telnet program is closed, or b) Windows is
shut down properly. This will NOT help, though, if the SIGHUP signal is
ignored (trapped) on the Unix end.

Secondly, the telnet client can prevent client-side quitting. This forces the
user to properly 'exit' from the Unix system.

Anzio (out telnet client) has both these features.

Of course, nothing will help of they just "turn it off and go home".
