FYI the telnetlib (as of 2.2.1, not sure past that) does not support all
telenet commands. If you want to send a special command, you need to access
the raw socket and send the extened options list character and the command
character. 

Ex: to send a Telnet BREAK

telnetCon.get_socket().send(chr(255)+chr(243))

So maybe trying  
telnetCon.get_socket().send(chr(255)+chr(29))

Will work fo you?
