Read data from Serial Command

[brianrpsgt1]

Thanks for the message

What exactly is happening is that the return is "None" for the command
that I am sending.  If I connect through Hyperterminal and execute the
'sh nw enc' command, it returns 'WEP'

I have confirmed that the serial port is correct and open with the
s.isOpen() function.  Also able to successfully connect in
Hypterterminal with the same configuration settings.
