Telnet Problem

[DeepBleu]

Thank you Eddie
Right after posting my message I sent a cancellation but you got my original
post first.
This is exactly what was happening.  Connection closing before even the
process had a chance to start.  So of course it was running fine in
interactive mode :O
I included a tn.read_until(ExpectedString) before closing and it works fine
now.

What's
