> Hello,  ive been struggling with this for a couple weeks now and was hoping someone might be able to help.  I have an older Cognex camera that I need to communicate with via telnet.  I can get a response from the camera when I initiate a telnet session but I dont seem to get any response when I write the user name to the camera -  I havnt been able to get any response writing anything. Im using python 2.7 and windows xp.  here is the code:
