That's actually a Windoze 95/98/ME/NT/W2K question.   What you're looking
for is a "keyboard macro recorder" that sets the function keys.  Leave
F1-F12 to the unspecified telnet or terminal emulator to deal with and
use the macro recorder to do the <alt> and <ctrl> combinations.  Your
unspecified telnet or terminal emulator may have custom function key
definitions available.  I use the Windoze 3.11 "Macro Recorder"
(recorder.exe) which works on all the above.  You can also find such
utilities on tucows, download.com and other dumpsters of Windoze
utilities.

Actually, I just re-read your question and discovered another
interpretation.  The "setkey" command is currently functional and
belching saved macros from the console or possibly from a serial
connected terminal.  You're wondering how to make your unspecified telnet
or terminal emulator do the same thing.  Apparently (my guess) your
unspecified telnet or terminal emulator is not sending the proper codes
for the function keys.  Tinkering with you telnet or terminal emulator is
probably the best approach.  If it's the stock Windoze 95/98/ME telnet,
give up and get something that actually works.

Hint:  No versions, no names, no numbers.  Therefore no specific answers.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
