What is the URL of the cab distribution you are using?
Do you know who made it?

I don't think Telnet client is the issue.
I used Telnet client running on CE.

Did you try pdb?

What do you mean by "reboot" ?

  "Hard reset" ?  
  "Soft reset" ?
  Something else ?

How did you invoke your script?

  From Python Prompt ?
  "Start menu"/Run ? (If it exists in PPC)
  Short cut ?
  Some other methods ?

If you are running "PythonCE2.2+ for HPC2000" on your iPaq (which is PPC),
win32gui module may cause some problems.
