From within an interact() call, you cannot.  The point is that the
telnet connection sets the pty into non-echoing mode during password
entry, but this setting isn't propagated automatically to the users
terminal. 

A work-around would be to ask for the username/password in advance
(without echoing) and automating the login sequence in the background.

Hope this helps,
